Is there anyway to get CSharp to auto-format like VB.NET?

[Aaron]

I like some of the auto-formatting features of VB.NET (god help me) but I
really prefer to use CSharp (C#) is there any way to get the features of
auto-indenting, auto-capitalization, and advanced intellisense like VB does?

Yes, visual studio has the auto-indenting and advanced intellisense. Check
Tools > Options > Text editor > All Languages.

Yeah, it just does not auto-indent. I type in a new variable and hit enter
and nothing.

private void blah(object sender, FileSystemEventArgs e)

{

MessageBox.Show("yo");

string doesntindent;

}

It works a little differantly. If you go to your line where the last
semicolon is and press enter it will create a new line and that line
will start at the same indentation as that line. VB has this advantage
and there are others but you can design a cleaner app with C# from and
Engineering or OOP/OOD stand point. It will also do some auto
formatting if you add you last brace after you have coded your scoped
code.

Try this..

go to the end of the file and find the last curly brace..

Delete it, then re add it.. it will format your entire page..

There is a shortcut that will format selected code
CTRL+A (Select all code) CTRL+K, CTRL+F
This should autoformat all code in the current window.
