Hello All,

I've recently made the switch from VS2005 to VS2008 ... I've noticed
that if I copy/paste a javascript function such as

function foo ()
{
}

.... it ends up "mangling" (in my opinion) this function to look
like ...

function foo () {
}

.... notice the opening brace has moved. This same behavior occurs
while typing in javascript as well ... is there an option to turn this
off ... or for that matter an option that I could use to force this
"mangling" in the other direction? (Our code standards are that the
open/close brace are vertically aligned)

Thanks,
Richard

Thanks for the help ... I had been looking undern Tools|Options|Text
Editor for a while ... what I didn't realize/see at first was the
checkbox down at the bottom for "Show all settings" ... everything's
working fine now ... thanks again ...

Don't you just hate the default settings. Seems that MS thinks we are a
bunch of dolts. I really hate the show all files setting when you
create a new project.
