A question for those of you that actually know what a code beautifier is (and does) and can't be bothered to waste time digging themselves into a hole pretending to be "smart", what do you guys use for C#? I would like to do better than AStyle/Uncrustify.
I have no idea as I don't code in C# or much at all really now. But Paulo Kunzel a couple of replies up pointed you to http://www.narrange.net/[^], he just messed up his link.

Thank you both. EDIT: Too simple a tool.

I've been using the VS2012 extensions for AStyle and Uncrustify. The first does not quite work for me and the second does work somewhat but removes bookmarks and breakpoints every time it's run. What do you guys use?
Check everything inside Tools->Options->Text Editor->C#->Formatting->General (at least for VS2010, VS2012 could be a little different, I have not tried), Open the file, click Ctrl-A, Ctrl-K and Ctrl F, then it formats the code in a nice way. However you have to open the code files to do it. I am not sure is this what you actually wanted though ...

Yes, the built-in beautifier has improved somewhat but I'm afraid it is still not flexible enough. Thank you, though.

I had to stop using such lovely tools because ... everyone here has their own preferred style and so Source Code Comparisons noted almost every line as a change. If you find a tool that prettifies C# on user preferences, but manages to avoid the issue with source control code comparisons - let me know!

A workaround it to keep two user preferences, one shared by everyone and one for yourself. Use the first one before a commit or a diff. Beautifiers save so many keystrokes that it is plain evil to have to give them up...

Yeah - in another work environment I'd insist on that - here it's all too hard! We get some devs just manually going through code changing the bracketing to their preference. I suggested automating the build process on check in and was met with such negativity I've pretty much given up suggesting any improvements in process. Sorry - feeling particularly cynical today!

You seem to be missing the point. Are you a programmer? How much time do you spend "beautifying with your eyes" tens of thousands of lines of legacy code?
Why would you even wanto to beautify legacy code? It's legacy code. Leave it be, or rewrite it. I don't beautify code. Code does not have to be beautifull. It has to work, and has to be readable. Make up and earrings will not make your code better. It will just distract you, and fool you into thinking it's perfect, untill it opens "it's" mouth and all that comes out is crap. Focus on better code, make it readable, add comments when needed. And structure it in the way you think it makes it easier to read and follow the logic behind it, but do it yourself and don't rely on tools. Who knows, maybe you'll catch a bug or two, or even identify flaws in the logic side.

Well, it depends really. Tools like never really work in every case. It really depends on case to case. Sometimes it's nice to have it separated, makes it more readable. Sometimes you have some inline stuff, thaat if you separated in the same way would just confuse you.

You don't know what a code beautifier is or what it does, do you? That's fine, of course. Moving on...

Yes I do. Which is why I say that you should not rely on those. When you don't have a code beautifier on hand, and not even able to get one, what are you gonna do?

It sounded like you were saying that there's something wrong with him using a program to format his code instead of doing it himself manually. Is that the humor you say he is missing?
The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.
I didn't say there was anything wrong with using a program to format reams of legacy code. He never mentioned legacy code so I attempted a somewhat amusing response, albeit you can use your brain to decide how to format your own code.

What disagreement? You are delusional. I am just looking for a tool and two fools are going on on tangents no one gives a crap about.
