When using VB.NET in Visual Studio 2010, is there any special key-combination to take you to the "other end" of a block?

In C# when your cursor is next to a brace (i.e. { or }) or brackets, you can click CTRL+] and it will move the cursor straight to the corresponding brace/bracket.

Is there such a thing in VB.NET so that if your cursor is on any part of an If statement (for example), you can be taken straight to the End If?

I realise that VB.NET makes life more difficult by having things like If ... Then ... ElseIf ... Else ... End If instead of braces, so I'm guessing the answer is probably "no".

(To clarify the last statement, what I mean is that in C# both the if and else can have specific braced areas, so going to the corresponding brace is a lot easier. In VB.NET if you did it on the If part, where would the IDE take you? The Else? The End If? Would it be expected to cycle through them?)
