When editing a C# source file, I type
new {
Visual Studio auto-corrects it to
new object{
Is there a way to stop this behavior?

Have you checked your auto-complete options for ReSharper? I just tried this in a new (empty) class with the default ReSharper settings and couldn't duplicate it. What version of studio/ReSharper are you using?

Try typing the left brace first, then going back and typing new. VS2008 does this for me (without ReSharper) and, if I remember, this is what I do. It's less typing than deleting the inserted "object".

you're right, it's VS not RS. still, can this behavior be overridden?

What are you typing before the new {?
I've just tried it and it auto-completes with the object type, so if I type:
Button test = new {
it becomes:
Button test = new Button{
But if I type:
var test = new {
it leaves it alone.
I haven't configured my VS2008 install in any way.

This happens in the argument list of a method call, for example, in ASP.Net MVC for the object routeValues parameter of Action Link.

Ah - I'd noticed it there, but didn't connect it with your question. @Richard's answer is the correct one.

You can configure which characters being typed commit the current intellisense selection. In Tools | Options | Text Editor | C# | IntelliSense.
Remove "{" and ensure committed by the space bar is not checked.

I tried this but it did not stop either of the problems (auto-completion on space and on {), even after restarting. Perhaps it's Resharper?
