How to autoformat code on array initialization?

Question

Every time I have array initialization and try to format the code by pressing CTRL+K and CTRL+D, the code indent doesn't get formatted automatically.

Sample code.

var users = new[]
{
    new User(),
    new User (     ),
       new User { Id = 1 },
    new User {     Id = 1 }   ,
            new     User { Id = 1 }   ,
    new    User { Id = 1      },
};

Expected result.

var users = new[]
{
    new User(),
    new User(),
    new User { Id = 1 },
    new User { Id = 1 },
    new User { Id = 1 },
    new User { Id = 1 },
};

My indenting setting.

Already tried installing Code Maid and pressing shortcut in the following menu (Format Document, Format Selection).

try ctrl +e, d. On some copies of visual studio, that is somehow the default instead. – Preindicate

@pquest, still doesn't work, is there any patch that I can download to fix it? – Zitazitah

not that I am aware of. This is kind of lame, but removing and the replacing the semicolon at the end will probably fix it. – Preindicate

@pquest, still not working – Zitazitah

If you go to Edit|Advanced|Format Document, what's the keyboard shortcut it lists? – Crass

@Hammerstein, I edited the question, and already tried both of them too – Zitazitah

Do you have some invalid syntax somewhere else? It's the only other thing I can think of that stops formatting. – Crass

No, it compiled successfully, does it work on your visual studio ? – Zitazitah

Answer 1

Select your block of code and use CTRL+E , \ which deletes horizontal white space. Then tabify the code as desired.

You can also find this under EDIT --> ADVANCED --> Delete horizontal white space from your Visual Studio menu.

hmmmm I needed to press the shortcut one by one on each white space – Zitazitah

@YuliamChandra it works for me when I select the whole block. – Gabor

Answer 2

Check out this CodeMaid -Extension for Visual studio.
