Problem with indentation when inserting snippet

Hi,

I am using VS2005 with C# and when go to insert a snippet
it is not indenting the code to where my current indent is.

Is this by design or is there a way to have it indent properly???

I have found that usually (maybe always but I haven't figured out for
sure), when there's something that the compiler doesn't like
(extra/missing semicolon, undeclared "using" reference, pretty much
anything that would generate a compilation error), it doesn't mess with
the indentation.

I have also found that once I've fixed the issue, and for some reason
occasionally even if I don't, if I cut and repaste the code just within
the code editor window, VS will get the indentation right the second time
around.

Since I haven't tested that particular issue in a thorough manner, I can't
say for sure what's going on. But you might try doing the cut/paste thing
and see if that helps.

For what it is worth. I had the same problem.

Then it started working once I edited the XML snippet file in VS2005 and let
it do the indentation for me. In other words, inside the Code tag, I just
took the default VS2005 indentation and then when I dropped it in my source
code file, it correctly indented.

don't know why - it just did!

Hi, I am a beginner in Python, and am wondering what is it about the indentation in Python, without which python scripts do not work properly. Why can't the indentation not so strict so as to give better freedom to the user? Is there any plausible reason behind this? Cheers! Sateesh

Hi, I just noticed your post in the "C# memory problem: no end for our problem?" thread. In the post you implied that I do not how the garbage collector works and that I mislead people.

I'm crossposting this to both comp.lang.c++ and gnu.gcc because I'm not sure if this is correct behavior or not, and I'm using the gcc STL and compiler. When calling vector<int>::push_back(0), an iterator that I've set in a loop gets changed. Here's an example of the problem (sorry about the lack of indentation, posting this from Google): #include <vector> #include <iostream>

Why does this code insert a node into a binary search tree correctly? If I only inserting going by first digit it works properly but when I try inserting going by the whole ip and the port number the inserts are totally out of order. where IPAddress is four ints Node is an IPAddress, portNumber, left pointer and right pointer Nodeptr is a pointer to a Node

If auto-format is turned off in VS2008, there is apparently no way to indent a line. Under Tools->Options->Text Editor->C#->Formatting, there are three checkboxes. Unchecking those seems to cause this behavior. I'd simply like to have the tab key insert a tab at the beginning of a line. I believe that there were publlished macros for doing this in earlier VS versions, but I expected this to be 'fixed' in VS2008. Yes, I realize someone...
