I believe one of the reasons K&R was popular, was that it saves vertical space, and therefore paper when you print your code. But how often do you print code these days? I cannot remember the last time I needed a hard copy of my code.

The more modern concern is ability to maximize the amount of code on a power point slide. [... to make a tangential point, the 'print' aspect is also the reason to use spaces and not tabs.]

On rare occasions I will still print a page or two of code when I'm refactoring C++. That's never necessary in C#, because the refactoring tools are so much better.

Hmm. Did a quick Wikipedia check; I'm calling 'Allman style' 'vertical braces'. Apparently I'm already nuts.

... for the last vestiges of the old Republic have been swept away. My legacy C++ code was written in K&R brace style, as the gods intended. I write my C# using the vertical brace Allman[^] style, thereby appeasing those gods. The last week or so I've been doing significant work in the legacy code, and I can't stand it anymore. I've written a VS macro(*) to reformat K&R to vertical braces Allman form. (*) Yes, I know that VS can reformat code for you. The built-in stuff in VS2008 is pretty lame.

Ah, 'tis me leg you be pullin' there laddie. We all be knowin' that the only way to make managed code go faster be to whip the horse harder.

Tabs originally, now spaces. The group couldn't agree on a tab size :rolleyes: .
Software Zen:
delete this;The problem is that when indent size is measured in "characters" then it depends on font size -- the smaller the font (I use an 8-point font) then the more characters are required to make an effective indent.

My code will probably drive you nuts as I use Allman style. Always have, always will.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

But that would only affect Visual Studio? What rubbish. I still want some way of having comments somewhat separated from the code so you can hide or show them as desired. And maybe store the code in XML.

On user likes tabs of 4, another likes tabs of 3. No version of Visual Studio since Visual C++ 6 has handled mixing spaces and tabs properly. The result is Visual Chaos™.

delete this;I can't recall if it. Is vs or an add on, but there is an option to ta if or detabify If everyone always uses tabs, then one user an set. The tab spacing to 3 and the other to 4, then that's how they will be displayed for that user - with no changes to the file.
