how to make Visual Studios 2012 add a "}" right after a type a "{"

Question

would just like to know if it is possible to have Visual Studios add a closing "}" right after I type the opening "{". So right after I type:

private void someMethod() {

I would like it to go ahead and do something like this:

private void someMethod() { }

or...

private void someMethod() {  
}

Thanks in advance for your help!

Use external tools for 2012. But it is a new feature that just got added to Visual Studio 2013.
