Is there a 'wizard' for overriding a method or property

Apologies if I'm being dumb, but can anyone tell me if there's any way the VS IDE makes it any easier to override a method (c# or vb).

At the moment I'm having to find the method signature, copy it in and override it by hand.

I'm sure that somewhere I found a way of getting the IDE to create the override for me, but maybe I dreamt it.

It would just save a lot of typing and looking things up, especially when inheriting from a system class or an external class library.

    John -
    The C# IDE will autocomplete an override.  Try this:

    public class A
    {
    protected virtual void foo() { }
    }

    class B : A
    {
    public override //type space here

    }

    When you type a space after the override, we will bring up a list of methods to override in the completion list.  Choose foo() and we will generate:

    protected override void foo()
    {
    base.foo();
    }
