Switch enum auto-fill

Question

I was typing a switch with an enum in VS 2013 and all case statements filled out automatically after I finished the switch. Now I can\'t repeat it. I was not hallucinating,

Answer 1

The selected answer is mostly correct, you don't need Resharper as other's have suggested (at least not with Visual Studio Professional 2012+).

1) type "sw" then "[tab][tab]" (as Marvin Smit said)

Which (as jmblack said) will generate something like:

  switch (switch_on)
  {
            default:
  }

but then

2) you need to select which thing to enumerate on (switch_on will be highlighted still at this point). So type in the Enum (or your variable of the enum type) while switch_on is highlited and hit [Enter][Enter].

(I just confirmed this worked on my machine running VS2012, and i'm fairly certain this is the same thing i have done on my other machine running VS2013, and i haven't tested other versions of VS (ultimate/express/etc.))
