You can do it with Macros for Visual Studio extension.

Here's the code for macros:

// BeginningOfFunction moves the caret to the beginning of the containing definition.

// Define Visual Studio constants
var vsCMElementFunction = 2;

var codeElement = textSelection.ActivePoint.CodeElement(vsCMElementFunction);


if (codeElement != null)
{
    textSelection.MoveToPoint(codeElement.GetStartPoint());
    dte.ActiveDocument.Activate();
}

It is one of the sample macros of the extension. Edited it a little, because for some reason sample didn't work for me. You can get to the end of the function by changing codeElement.GetStartPoint() to codeElement.GetEndPoint().
