    C++ has evolved considerably since VS2008 was released. Your learning experience will benefit from working with a current version of Visual Studio so you should look into modernizing your environment if possible.

    As far as code formatting is concerned the keyboard shortcut of Ctrl-K,Ctrl-F worked in my old version of VS2008 Professional.
