    It works in code behind too. There are several other VERY convenient shotcuts keys in Visual Studio. Take a look at http://www.dev102.com/2008/04/17/10-visual-studio-shortcuts-you-must-know/ for more (and don't forget the comments at the bottom either) Some of my favorites: Ctrl-K Ctrl-D : Formats your code (including html cleanup) Ctrl-M Ctrl-O : Collapses code to defintions only Ctrl-Shift-B : Build (I use this one about a thousand times a day...) Check out http://xona.com/2005/08/02.html for a handy macro to output VS keyboard shortcuts.
