How to change the formatting of the "Use Object Initializer" refactoring in Resharper?

Question

When I refactor the following line:

Employee e = new Employee();
e.First = "Frank";
e.Last = "Rizzo";

using Resharper's "Use Object Initializer", I get the following:

Employee e = new Employee
             {
                 First = "Frank",
                 Last = "Rizzo"
             };

I really hate this type of formatting because with longer object names and variables it just gets out of control. How can I get Resharper to do the following?

Employee e = new Employee
{
    First = "Frank",
    Last = "Rizzo"
};

I wonder who came up with this idea in the first place. No one in their right mind would indent initializers like that. – Wateriness

I have it on good authority that it was someone in their left mind. – Denticle

no no don't change the Resharper default settings, it's perfect :-) – Brachyuran

Here are some useful Resharper formatting settings… daniellang.net/5-resharper-settings-for-c4-coding – Gauldin

Answer 1

You can get very close to what you want in Resharper 4.5.

Resharper>Options

Languages>C#>Formatting Style>Other

under Other uncheck "Indent array, object and collection initializer block."

Using this with Version 5 gives 1 tab indent instead of 0. better than nothing... – Redfield

found answer to that on #747851 – Redfield

Does anyone have an answer for ReSharper 7.1.2? It is already unchecked but still indents wrongly. – Octa

Answer 2

In Resharper 7 this option is here:

Resharper / Option / C# / Formatting Style / Braces Layout set Array and object initializer to: "At next line (BSD style)"

I don't know about RS7, but in RS6 that's quite definitely not the right place — the setting in Formatting > Other determines whether the indent set here is relative to the start of the line or to the initializer statement. The live preview on each setting will show you what I mean better than words can explain it :) – Batsman

@David Krmpotic is correct about RS7, and RS8 has it in the same place. – Sarson

In Reshaper 8 the setting to not indent the object initializer is Resharper / Option / C# / Formatting Style / Other / Align Multiline Constructs / Array, object and collection initializer – Kynan

Answer 3

In R# 2018.2.3 This is in:

ReSharper -> Options -> Code Editing -> C# -> Formatting Style -> Line Breaks And Wrapping -> Arrangement of Initializers

There is multiple settings you can play with there, namely:

• Keep existing arrangement of initializers
• Max object and collection initializer elements on a single line
