Default Differenes in IDE for C# vs. VB

Hi,

I recently started using C# instead of VB for my ASP projects. I did this for two reasons: (1) because I'm doing so much Java and C++ in school that it seemed to make sense to stay in one language paradigm, and (2) because it sounds cool when I say it to clients.

Over and above the differences in the languages, I'm noticing some interesting differences in the way the interface behaves, depending on which language you're using. I have to say I like some aspects of each, but I'm wondering if there is a way to:
  • Have the IDE automatically compile as you type. VB does that so you don't have to build to see your syntax errors.
  • Have it automatically indent. C# kind of does it (as you type), but not the way VB does. In VB, there's almost no way to have your indenting off. You paste in some code and it's automatically indendted correctly.
Of course I looked in the options and didn't find these settings or I wouldn't be bothering you. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Aaron
