I'm using Visual Studio 2015 for C/C++ development, I'm used to Eclipse where, when I click on a suggested method, it's automatically written (with braces and parameters); currently in visual studio when I select a suggested function it just appears with no braces and no parameters, is there a way to do what I've asked?
Thanks in advance!
I would recommend looking at ReSharper. If your looking for Visual Studio 2015 to have the run like Eclipse or even Sublime, then take a look at this - also check some YouTube videos about developers who use the software to see if this is what you are looking for.

I am working on a asp.net MVC project in Visual Studio 2019.
I am watching a tutorial and the tutor uses Visual Studio 2015. His editor shows parameter name beside parameter, like this:
While my editor doesn't:
Does any one know what setting, feature or extension is that?
It's called "inline parameter name hint". Not sure how VS 2015 can have it since even Resharper only introduce it on 2018 (maybe CodeRush or another extension?), but if you're using the latest VS, it's available under the Editor Help group from Tools-Options-Text Editor-C#-Advanced. This feature is turned on by default in all IDEA-based IDE (Rider, Android Studio, PhpStorm, etc) so expect more people to be used by it.
Visual Studio Code has a nice feature that allows automatic expansion of currently selected tab group (called editors) once you select a document.
How this feature works can be seen in these release notes of VS Code.
Is there an extension to obtain the same effect in Visual Studio 2017 or 2019? I've asked something similar a while ago but never managed to develop the plugin.
You can look for all visual studio extensions on visual studio market place.

I search there for an extension like you described but didn't found. So until today your answer is no.
I would like to give guidance for my team. With VS.NET 2k5 and 2k8 we had Guidance Automation but now it's gone.
I know the free alternative (Open GAT/GAX) but I dont really like it.
As far I know T4 templates are not good choice for that.
What we need:
fix type: class library
setting build output
creating namespaces, folders
creating files
See GAX 2010 For Visual Studio 2013 and GAT 2010 for Visual Studio 2013, both by Jelle Druyts.
I haven't used either one (I used GAT/GAX back some years ago, along with the Web Service Software Factory), but I look forward to hearing from you how well they work.
I'm working on a Visual Studio 2008 Add-in that shows files from SharePoint. It is possible to edit file in SharePint from within Visual Studio, and I would like to give a view of the difference between the current document and the version saved in ShaerPoint and the last published version in SharePoint.
In the past there was Super Diff, but is it still supported for Visual Studio 2008? Is it posible to control it from code? Any other tools?
If you are looking for a free one, there is SourceGear's DiffMerge.
This very useful article describes the command line values for many of the diff tools you can incorporate into Visual Studio.
This article describes Changing the diff/merge program used by Visual Studio. It targets BeyondCompare (commercial) but the steps can be followed for any diff tool (using the arguments from the previous link).
There is also WinMerge.
EDIT: Just noticed you want to be able to control from code. Both of these tools have a command line interface.
I am just about to get used with Visual Studio 2010 right now.
So could you mention visual studio add-in that is ready for Visual Studio 2010?
Take a look within Visual Studio itself: Tools -> Extension Manager.
This will show various tools and other extensions from http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/. I'm not sure if it's working very well right now, as I'm having connection issues within VS and the site seems a bit slow.
I know AnkhSVN exists on there and I'm sure others do as well.
Here's a blog post with some more information: Get VS2010 Extensions easily with built-in Extension Manager (and checking out a VS2010T4 editor)
JetBrains has preview builds of ReSharper available. It may not be completely stable yet, but some ReSharper is better than no ReSharper...
AnkhSVN - a subversion client is VS 2010 compatible.
Hope that helps,

Get ReSharper. It really helps you make fewer errors and code faster. http://twi.im/oW
My addin Atomineer Pro Documentation provides automatic DocXml/Doxygen comment generation tool for use in C/C++/C#/VB/Java. It supports XML Documentation, Doxygen, JavaDoc, and Qt format comments.
An alternative for documenting in XML format for C#/VB is GhostDoc - there is a feature comparison here to give an idea of how they measure up to each other.
