Is this possible? If so how do I do this?
The code is in C# and we are using TortoiseSVN.
I simply want to auto format the code on every checking.
Thanks a lot

You’re touching on holy-war ground. Mussing with people’s formatting is asking for pitchforks and torches.
My recommendation: Don’t.
Not to mention, if you’re talking C#, and your developers are using Visual Studio, VS has a lot of auto-formatting tools. Just by entering that closing curly-brace and VS can/will auto-format your code.
A better solution may be to get all your developers to use the same auto-formatting settings.
These settings are exportable, so if you can get the team to agree to use the same code-formatting settings in VS, you can avoid the trouble of performing it in your source control system which is better left to do what it does best.
If you’re hell-bent on doing this, a pre-commit hook, like others have said, is the way to go. If you’re SVN server is running on Windows, might I recommend CaptainHook for writing your hook scripts? Plugin-able hookscripts that you can write in any .NET language.
