Question

MonoDevelop 3.0 is great, but it’s a little too over zealous on reformatting.

When I enter the code:

var serializer = new XmlSerializer (typeof(TDestination),extraTypes);

Then press CTRL+SHIFT+F to format the code, it change these lines to put one parameter on each line making it hard to read when the function calls or lambda expressions are long.

        var serializer = new XmlSerializer (
                    typeof(TDestination),
                    extraTypes
        );

How do I get MonoDevelop to leave the line breaks as they are?

Answer 1

Go to Preferences >> Source Code >> Code Formatting >> C# Source Code. Select a custom policy, press the “C# Format” tab, and press the “Edit” button. I hope that helps!
