Visual Studio code formatting

Question

Hi,

I've been using Visual Studio as my main IDE for a while now (I still use Emacs for some personal projects, though).

I like the way Emacs formats C/C++ code and I'd like to convince Visual Studio use similar conventions for C# code. For instance, in Emacs, a C function call looks like:

functionName(argument1,
             argument2,
             argument3);

while in the C# code formatted by Visual Studio a function call looks like:

functionName(argument1,
    argument2,
    argument3);

which seems worse to me.

Is there a way to tweak Visual Studio code formatting rules? Any plugins that can handle that?

Many thanks,

Resharper (above) is good. CodeRush is now free from DevExpress. I've enjoyed using their products over the years.
