So I have this annoying issue with Visual Studio (when working with C#), I've been digging around in the C# formatting options, general VS options and on google and MSDN but can't really find a fix for this - I'm assuming there's just a checkbox somewhere and I've just overlooked it. Here it is:
I like to format my code like this:
Type var2 = new Type();
Type someVar = new Type();
But visual studio insists on formatting it like this, whenever the automatic format feature is applied:
Type var2 = new Type();
Type someVar = new Type();
Where do I turn this annoying feature off?
In the Formatting Options, In the Spacing section:
there is an option called 'Ignore spaces in declaration statements'.
Check that option, and VS.NET will not re-format the declarations that you make.
So, this should work:
int i = 5;
int melp = 4;
But, when you do this, VS.NET will still reformat your code:
int i;
int melp;
i = 5;
melp = 4;
will become:
int i;
int melp;
i = 5;
melp = 4;
So, it is really only in declaration statements that VS.NET will ignore the extra spacing you provide.

I. Ignore spaces in declaration statements <<-- check this
AND
II. Set spacing for operators
Insert space...
Ignore spaces ... <<-- check this
Tools -> options -> Text Editor -> C# -> Tabs -> "Keep Tabs"
