c# - How do I stop Visual Studio from inserting "object" when I type "new {"

Question

When editing a C# source file, I type

new {

Visual Studio auto-corrects it to

new object{

Is there a way to stop this behavior?

Answer 1

You can configure which characters being typed commit the current intellisense selection. In Tools | Options | Text Editor | C# | IntelliSense.

Remove "{" and ensure committed by the space bar is not checked.

NB. This option is no longer present as of Visual Studio 2015.
