MSBuild code formatting

Speaks for itself...

Bad

  <Target Name="MyExampleTarget1">

      <SomeMSBuildTaskThatDoesSomethingOrOtherWithALongName SomePropertyForTheTaskWithALongName="value1" AnotherPropertyForTheTaskWithALongName="value2" />

      <MSBuildTaskWithShortNameName AProperty="value3" />

  </Target>

The end of the line extends outside the editor window so you can't see the end argument without scolling horizontally.

Bad

  <Target Name="MyExampleTarget2">

      <SomeMSBuildTaskThatDoesSomethingOrOtherWithALongName SomePropertyForTheTaskWithALongName="value1" 

                                                            AnotherPropertyForTheTaskWithALongName="value2" />

      <MSBuildTaskWithShortName SomeProperty="value3" />

  </Target>

 

The properties don't line up ("SomeProperty" not aligned with the properties from the previous task) making it a bit harder to read.

Good

  <Target Name="MyExampleTarget3">

      <SomeMSBuildTaskThatDoesSomethingOrOtherWithALongName 

          SomePropertyForTheTaskWithALongName="value1"

          AnotherPropertyForTheTaskWithALongName="value2" />

      <MSBuildTaskWithShortName 

          SomeProperty="value3" />

  </Target>

 

Everything almost always fits in the editor window (no need to scroll horizontally) and everything lines up making it easy on the eye.
