C# automatic code formatter

Hi,

almost every week there is a patch submitted to this list that gets
rejected/postponed because of formatting issues. Java has many very
good tools like this, e.g. Eclipse built-in.

Isn't there a tool for automatic formatting of C# code according to
some guidelines (in this case,
http://www.mono-project.com/Coding_Guidelines )?

Regards,

Leszek 'skolima' Ciesielski

.NET has VS.NET, Sharp Develop, and MonoDevelop from a tooling perspective.

NAnt has a task for converting tabs into spaces and vice versa. It seems to me that if an enhancement to this task doesn't already exist that formats the source code based on a defined set of guidelines it shouldn't be too difficult to create. It might even be as easy as scripting up a MonoDevelop macro of some sort.

To make things all that much better, writing an SVN hook that auto formats each check-in might be an interesting approach. It would certainly produce cleaner diffs for review if each file was formatted using a pre-commit hook.

VIM, just open the file in VIM and type: gg=G and that's it, first you have to configure VIM for Mono's coding guidelines.

Now this would be great. Could anyone share such a configuration file?

I'm sorry I meant that's it for the indentation only.

This is what I have in my ~/.vimrc:

set ai ts=4 sts=4 sw=4 si nu
