How can I get Visual Studio 2008 to align my assignment operators?
- by Alison R.
I had this in Vim and miss it dearly now that I'm confined to Visual Studio. I'd like to take this:
MyType type_obj = new MyType();
MyLongerType longer_type_obj = new LongerType()
To this:
MyType type_obj = new MyType();
LongerType longer_type_obj = new LongerType()
I have found some macros for this on the web, but they seem to be for an older version of Visual Studio (< 2008). Here is one from 2000.
Edit:
Further digging in Google turned up this one:

It seems to work to align equals signs, but I haven't yet figured out if it can align the local variable names, too.
Still no clue as to whether I could just get it to perform this sort of behavior with a Ctrl E+D, although that might not be practical considering how it works. (It aligns going down from the line which currently has focus.)
