Answer 1

I have recently done the same thing and moved from Eclipse to Visual Studio when I moved onto a new project. The Resharper add in is highly recommended - it adds some of the rich editing, navigational and refactoring functionality that eclipse has to VS.

Resharper also allows you to use a keybaord mapping scheme that is very simillar to InteliJ. Very handy for the Java escapees...

Regarding your second question, Resharper has the same move code up / down function as eclipse, but with some caveats. Firstly, using the InteliJ keyboard mappings, the key combination is rather tortuous.

Move code up: ctrl + shift + alt + up cursor

Move code down: ctrl + shift + alt + down cursor

Secondly, it does not always move by just one line, but actually jumps code blocks. So it cannot move a line from outside an if statement to inside it - it jumps the selected line right over the if block. To do that you need to move "left" and "right" using

Move code into outer code block: ctrl + shift + alt + left cursor

Move code into next inner code block: ctrl + shift + alt + right cursor
