Can Visual Studio block select like VS Code?

When I use block select via VS Code, I can select the following all.

Name
Country
Birthday

But with Visual Studio, I can only select rectangle area like:

Name
Coun
Birt

or (added to reply comment)

Name{get
Country{
Birthday

How to make Visual Studio work like VS Code?

Add: I mean, with VS Code I can use shift+ctrl+right to select jagged whole words in multi-line, but Visual Studio only select a rectangle area.

Hope you looking for an "Expand selection" in VS Code alternative for Visual Studio.

enter image description here

As in Microsoft documentation, you can use "Shift + Alt + =" this will select the block where the cursor point and if you press multiple time then it expand to a higher level as well.
