Is there a tool for reformatting C# code? [closed]

Question

I am looking for a (preferably) command-line tool that can reformat the C# source code on a directory tree. Ideally, I should be able to customize the formatting. Bonus points if the tool can be run on Mono (or Linux).

Answer 1

You could also try NArrange to reformat your code. The formatting options it supports are still pretty limited, but it can process an entire directory and is a command-line tool. Also, NArrange runs under Mono.

Answer 2

You could give Artistic Style a try. It requires Perl to be installed though.

It's got a decent list of formatting options, and supports C and Java as well.

It doesn't work that well with C# though. – Trifid

Answer 3

This isn't command-line, Mono or Linux, but it's something: I've been using ReSharper (made by JetBrains) and it's rather good. It's a Visual Studio plugin, so I'm guessing it's not your cup of tea.

I use Emacs and csharp-mode. One keystroke and the module is reformatted according to my desires.

See our SD C# Formatter. Uses a full C# parser and prettyprinter; it will not break your code.

EDIT: September, 2013: Now runs on Windows and Linux. Covers C# v5.

Answer 8

Check out astyle. I am sure the KDE guys use it, but the website said that it supports C#.

Answer 9

I am going to second the ReSharper suggestion. I can't live without it.

The built-in reformatting is under ReSharper → Tools → Cleanup Code menu and is bound to Ctrl + E, Ctrl + C by default.

Maybe you could take a look at this free Addin for Visual Studio 2010/2012 i recently wrote :)
