How can I make Resharper wrap very long lines properly?

Question

Resharper's code formatting is generally fine, but it seems completely broken when dealing with very long lines. For example look at this piece of code:

I do want some kind of line wrapping, but it should look ahead and indent less if necessary to avoid ridiculous amounts of line breaks. Something like this would be great:

Is there any way to make Resharper do this?

I'm also irritated by this. One way to get somewhat better formatting is by placing a new-line after your first "=" (i.e. start a new line at Fakes.ReportClientAssignmentsRepository). – Darcydarda

@telewin: That's pretty much the same thing I keep doing, but if I forget to add my line breaks before hitting ctrl-e-f, the formatting is messed up and stays that way unless I manually remove a lot of line breaks. – Pieeyed

Answer 1

Alex Berezoutsky of Jetbrains has suggested to turn off "Indent array, object and collection initializer" checkbox in the "ReSharper | Options | Languages | C# | Formatting Style | Other" dialog. It's not ideal IMO for shorter lines, but it does look much better on very long code lines.

I guess it's the best workaround for this problem at the current time.

Answer 2

I admittedly haven't plugged your code into my IDE to try it so I don't have exact setting values for you, but have a go at tweaking the line wrapping options in R# options.

• Go to Resharper | Options
• Under Languages expande C# and then Formatting Style, click on Line Breaks and Wrapping
• Review the settings in that category

I already did... several times. But I could not find any setting that would make the indentation wrapping work correctly. – Pieeyed
