There is (currently) no way to do this out of the box in ReSharper. Fortunately, ReSharper has a very rich extensibility API (albeit poorly documented). I've spent a lot of time with Reflector trying to figure things out.
We use a similar alignment guideline for class members in a company I work for (to the extreme, we also align method parameters). I wrote a plugin for ReSharper to help me do just that. It's a "Code Cleanup" module, which runs sometime during the code cleanup (Ctrl-E, Ctrl-F) and aligns the code for you. It also makes the class sealed
, if possible.
Some examples:
Method parameters:
public void DoSomething(string name,
int age,
IEnumerable coll)
(you will need to change Wrap formal parameters to Chop always in Options->Formatting Style->Line Breaks and Wrapping for this to work properly)
Constants:
private const int RESOURCEDISPLAYTYPE_DOMAIN = 0x00000001;
private const int CONNECT_COMMANDLINE = 0x00000800;
private const int CONNECT_INTERACTIVE = 0x00000008;
private const string RESOURCE_NAME = "Unknown";
You can download the source code from
my SkyDrive. Please note that you'll need several things to compile/debug it:
Update the Command Line Arguments
in Debug
tab in Project
Properties
with the correct path of
the output DLL:
/ReSharper.Plugin
"X:\<projects>\MyCompany.CodeFormatter\MyCompany.CodeFormatter\bin\Debug\MyCompany.CodeFormatter.dll"
This allows debugging the plugin via
F5, and it will be
automatically installed in
ReSharper's Plugins in the new
Visual Studio instance which will
open.
- The plugin is for ReSharper 4.5 and it references the DLLs of this version. If you installed ReSharper anywhere else except
C:\Program Files\JetBrains\ReSharper
, you will have to fix the references.
- This does not align variables inside methods, but it shouldn't be hard to add :)
After you install this, just run Code Cleanup
to fix your alignment (I never got a reply from JetBrains about how to do this during brace/semicolon formatting, unfortunately).
Assembly was renamed to protect the innocent :)
Good luck!
