Please correct me if I am wrong on this.  You're telling me that braces are 
free for the programmer to place them where they want in C#?  I know that in 
most of the demos I have from books, there are always braces in particular 
places every time with no fail.  Is this a C# convention, or is this a standard 
that Wily is using?  For instance:
Namespace Demo
{
Static void main(string [] args)
}
{
Console.WriteLine("this is a demo");
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
}
Or something like that.  I'm not sure since I don't have the file open in front 
of me, but are you saying that is just a chosen way of writing it and that 
people are relatively free with braces?  And about other languages.  I chose C# 
because it offers the power of C++ without the complexity.  And I plan to learn 
F# as well one of these days, though isn't that more of a math language for 
calculation programs and such like that?  But thanks to Roslyn, I can learn 
easier with C# interactive.  And I don't use VB for moral reasons.  No offense 
to those on this list who love it, but isn't it kind of the malware author's 
language?

C#?

I'd also add that braces, parentheses, or anything that comes in pairs, should 
be inserted at the same time.  ie, immediately type your opening and closing 
braces and then move your insertion point in between them.  If you're putting 
existing code in new braces, you still try to do this as a single operation.  
either be careful to put them in the correct place at that time, checking to 
make sure they are, or have them inserted for you.  eg, select the code, CTRL + 
K + X, select Visual C#, then select what you want, such as "if".

I do all of this and the only time I've ever had mismatched braces is by 
accidentally deleting one.
