Question

I love Visual Studio’s ability to auto format (CTRL + K,D). However, in HTML if you have something like:

<h1><%# Eval("SomeField") %></h1>  

It gets formatted this way:

<h1>
    <%# Eval("SomeField") %></h1>

I’m fairly certain that the line break after the <h1> tag is caused by Visual Studio’s formatting rules for embedded code blocks. However I don’t know where to edit those settings. All of the other rules are under Tools > Options > Text Editor.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Many thanks!

Answer 1

Tools > Options > Text Editor > Html > Formatting

Tag wrapping section -> Tag Specific Options…

Default Settings (there are 4) – Change all the “Line breaks:” to “Before and after”
