Can visual studio automatically indent / format preprocessing directives?

In the following sample code there is a #if directive but notice the lack of indentation:

                else
                {
#if DEBUG
    Debug.Print(ex.Message);
#endif                    
                    return null;
                }

I know this is probably like this for some pure development practice, but honestly within VS.NET I do not care and would prefer it to align with my code. Is there a way to allow # directives be auto indented inline with the rest of the code in VS.NET?

Thanks!

I tried to search something here:

Option -> Text Editor -> C#

but unfortunately it seems that visualstudio doesn’t have anything built in which permit you to indent the preprocessor directives in that way. However googling I found this answer and it recommends to use StyleCop. Hope this helps you.
