Auto formatting- Visual Studio 2008

Hello,

I am a mechanical engineer by profession but I have just started learning c++. This question is regarding the IDE and not cpp in general. Please do excuse me, if I have violated the norms of this forum and in that case ignore this question.

Details are as:

We have VS-2008 in our office. While trying few line I noticed that when I am writing say:

int main()
{

the software doesnt put the closing braces --> } automatically.

also say I have defined a function say:

void inttostr(int n)
{
// definition
}

and down the line when I call this function say inttostr .... I was expecting that VS would list this function/or matching string while I am typing so that I don't have to type the name of the function all over again. This also would prevent any error caused by typing mistake. So, is there some setting that would bring up this kind "autoformatting" in VS-2008 or is this a stupid "feature request"

Thank you in advance for taking time out to answer this.
