Object Initializer Formatting - Confusion

Hello Matthew,

Please open ReSharper | Options | Languages | C# | Formatting Style | Line
Breaks and Wrapping and turn off 'Place simple array, object and collection
initializer on a single line' option. Thank you!

Hi

Firstly we are on VS2008 and R#5

I am trying to make Resharper format object initializers as follows
(so that each parameter is on a new line)

var x  = new MyObject()
{
param1 = xxx,
param2 = uuu,
param3 = ttt
}
I have meddled with the settings for over an hour now and no matter
what I do I always end up with the parameters on one line.  e.g.

{ param1 = xxx, param2 = uuu, param3 = ttt }

Resharper is such a great tool but this is really making me pull my
hair out!

Thanks

Hi Andrey

Thanks for your reply.  I tried that yesterday but all I end up with is the parameters on one line e.g.

var x = new MyObject()
{
     param1 = 1, param2 = 2, param3 = 3
}

I want them to be split as follows

var x = new MyObject()
{
     param1 = 1,
     param2 = 2,
     param3 = 3
}

Hello Matthew,

Please also make sure that you have 'Wrap long lines' option turned on under
'Line Breaks and Wrapping' section. Thank you!

Hi Andrey

}

{
param1 = 1,
param2 = 2,
param3 = 3
}
I fiddled with the settings and can't figure it out.  I have setup
resharper to match the coding standards for our business so that all
my developers use the same file and therefore we are conisistant
across all our solutions - however this is the only item I can't seem
to get working how I want.

Best regards
Matthew

Hi there,

I also have the same problem, and turning on "Wrap Long Lines" doesn't do what I want it to do...

Here's the original code:


var iddData = new AdminLegalEntityIDD {
 AuthFirmName = txtAuthFirmName.Text.Trim(), AFStreet = txtAFStreet.Text.Trim(), AFDistrict = txtAFDistrict.Text.Trim(), AFTown = txtAFTown.Text.Trim(), AFCounty = txtAFCounty.Text.Trim(), AFPostCode = txtAFPostCode.Text.Trim(), AppointedRep = cbAppointedRep.Checked, ProductsRange = cbProductsRange.Checked, ProductsLimited = cbProductsLimited.Checked, ProductsSingle = cbProductsSingle.Checked, ProductsNonInvest1 = txtProductsNonInvest1.Text.Trim(), ProductsNonInvest2 = txtProductsNonInvest2.Text.Trim(), ProductsPlural = ddlProductsPlural.SelectedItem.Text, SingleInsurer_MPPI = cbMPPI.Checked, SingleInsurer_BC = cbBC.Checked, SingleInsurer_LLBC = cbLLBC.Checked, SingleInsurer_STIP = cbSTIP.Checked, FreeText = txtFreeText.Text.Trim(), ServiceAdvice = cbServiceAdvice.Checked, ServiceNonAdvice = cbServiceNonAdvice.Checked, ServiceNonInvest1 = txtServiceNonInvest1.Text.Trim(), ServiceNonInvest2 = txtServiceNonInvest2.Text.Trim(), FeeYes = cbFeeYes.Checked, FeeNo = cbFeeYes.Checked, FeeList = txtFeeList.Text.Trim(), NoFeeList = txtNoFeeList.Text.Trim(), RAFStreet = txtRAFStreet.Text.Trim(), RAFDistrict = txtRAFDistrict.Text.Trim(), RAFTown = txtRAFTown.Text.Trim(), RAFCounty = txtRAFCounty.Text.Trim(), RAFPostCode = txtRAFPostCode.Text.Trim(), RegulatesOmitSection = cbRegulatesOmitSection.Checked, FSARegNo = txtFSARegNo.Text.Trim(), RegulatesPermittedBusiness1 = txtRegulatesPermittedBusiness1.Text.Trim(), OwnershipNotes1 = txtOwnershipNotes1.Text.Trim(), OwnershipNotes2 = txtOwnershipNotes2.Text.Trim(), OwnershipSectionOmit = cbOwnershipSectionOmit.Checked, ComplaintAuthFirmName = txtComplaintAuthFirmName.Text.Trim(), COMStreet = txtCOMStreet.Text.Trim(), COMDistrict = txtCOMDistrict.Text.Trim(), COMTown = txtCOMTown.Text.Trim(), COMCounty = txtCOMCounty.Text.Trim(), COMPostCode = txtCOMPostCode.Text.Trim(), ComplaintTel = txtComplaintTel.Text.Trim(), ComplaintsAlternativeDetails = txtComplaintsAlternativeDetails.Text.Trim(), ComplaintSectionOmit = cbComplaintSectionOmit.Checked, ComplaintCommercialOmit = cbComplaintCommercialOmit.Checked, ProfessionalFirm = cbProfessionalFirm.Checked, FSCSMember = cbFSCSYesNo.SelectedIndex == 0, CompensationSectionOmit = cbCompensationSectionOmit.Checked
 };


Don't ask me why the object is badly designed, I'm just working with it ;P

When I turn on "Wrap Long Lines" and reformat the code, I get this:


var iddData = new AdminLegalEntityIDD {
 AuthFirmName = txtAuthFirmName.Text.Trim(), AFStreet = txtAFStreet.Text.Trim(),
 AFDistrict = txtAFDistrict.Text.Trim(), AFTown = txtAFTown.Text.Trim(), AFCounty = txtAFCounty.Text.Trim(),
 AFPostCode = txtAFPostCode.Text.Trim(), AppointedRep = cbAppointedRep.Checked,
 ProductsRange = cbProductsRange.Checked, ProductsLimited = cbProductsLimited.Checked,
 ProductsSingle = cbProductsSingle.Checked, ProductsNonInvest1 = txtProductsNonInvest1.Text.Trim(),
 ProductsNonInvest2 = txtProductsNonInvest2.Text.Trim(), ProductsPlural = ddlProductsPlural.SelectedItem.Text,
 SingleInsurer_MPPI = cbMPPI.Checked, SingleInsurer_BC = cbBC.Checked, SingleInsurer_LLBC = cbLLBC.Checked,
 SingleInsurer_STIP = cbSTIP.Checked, FreeText = txtFreeText.Text.Trim(), ServiceAdvice = cbServiceAdvice.Checked,
 ServiceNonAdvice = cbServiceNonAdvice.Checked, ServiceNonInvest1 = txtServiceNonInvest1.Text.Trim(),
 ServiceNonInvest2 = txtServiceNonInvest2.Text.Trim(), FeeYes = cbFeeYes.Checked, FeeNo = cbFeeYes.Checked,
 FeeList = txtFeeList.Text.Trim(), NoFeeList = txtNoFeeList.Text.Trim(), RAFStreet = txtRAFStreet.Text.Trim(),
 RAFDistrict = txtRAFDistrict.Text.Trim(), RAFTown = txtRAFTown.Text.Trim(), RAFCounty = txtRAFCounty.Text.Trim(),
 RAFPostCode = txtRAFPostCode.Text.Trim(), RegulatesOmitSection = cbRegulatesOmitSection.Checked,
 FSARegNo = txtFSARegNo.Text.Trim(), RegulatesPermittedBusiness1 = txtRegulatesPermittedBusiness1.Text.Trim(),
 OwnershipNotes1 = txtOwnershipNotes1.Text.Trim(), OwnershipNotes2 = txtOwnershipNotes2.Text.Trim(),
 OwnershipSectionOmit = cbOwnershipSectionOmit.Checked, ComplaintAuthFirmName = txtComplaintAuthFirmName.Text.Trim(),
 COMStreet = txtCOMStreet.Text.Trim(), COMDistrict = txtCOMDistrict.Text.Trim(), COMTown = txtCOMTown.Text.Trim(),
 COMCounty = txtCOMCounty.Text.Trim(), COMPostCode = txtCOMPostCode.Text.Trim(),
 ComplaintTel = txtComplaintTel.Text.Trim(),
 ComplaintsAlternativeDetails = txtComplaintsAlternativeDetails.Text.Trim(),
 ComplaintSectionOmit = cbComplaintSectionOmit.Checked, ComplaintCommercialOmit = cbComplaintCommercialOmit.Checked,
 ProfessionalFirm = cbProfessionalFirm.Checked, FSCSMember = cbFSCSYesNo.SelectedIndex == 0,
 CompensationSectionOmit = cbCompensationSectionOmit.Checked
 };


I've attached screenshots of my formatting settings pages (I turned Wrapping off again btw)... can someone help please? It's starting to get annoying and I've tried loads of different options...

I would rather not turn on wrapping anyway, as I don't like it... I want some long lines to remain long, but want my object initializers to look like this:

var x = new MyObject {
     Test1 = "test",
     Test2 = "test2",
     SomeLongerNameThatICantThinkUpOffTheTopOfMyHead = true
};

Spaces screenshots attached...

Same here, I've already made a post about it and got no answer.

Hello Chris,

Try changing 'Wrap object and collection initializer' option under ReSharper
| Options | Languages | C# | Code Style | Line Breaks and Wrapping to 'Chop
always'. Let me know if this helps. Thank you!

Absolutely brilliant, worked perfectly :) I'll confirm properly next time I write a new initializer :)
