SUMMARY

In the Microsoft Visual Workbench or Developer Studio Editor, CTRL+] or the Find Matching Brace command under the Edit menu, finds a matching brace when the caret is located to the left of an enclosure symbol: either a parenthesis "(", brace "{", or bracket "[".

The editor is unable to distinguish whether these enclosure symbols are located within valid code or within a comment. As a result, using CTRL+] may find a matching enclosure symbol within a comment, as shown in the source code in the "MORE INFORMATION" section, below.
