Visual Studio autoformat places a new line after all block comments - at least the one I am using. It does so obviously only for those comments, which come first on a line. 

/*mark1*/ double[] a = new /*mark2*/ double[100];

is formated to: 

/*mark1*/ 
double[] a = new /*mark2*/ double[100];

Since I am using inline block comments as marks for a code replication tool, I want to disable that 'feature' for all block comments. Auto format should simply ignore them. 

/*mark1*/ double[] a = new /*mark2*/ double[100];

should not break the line while auto formatting.

Is this possible and how? I tried everything in the "New Lines" section in the C# formatting settings, but without luck.

  • @Adeel: please read the question. This is not a duplicate. I am not asking for "ignoring spaces in declaration statements", but not to insert new lines after inline block comments. – user492238 Feb 17 '11 at 05:00

I suppose, it's simply not possible.

#pragma warning disable IDE0055
        /*mark1*/ double[] a = new /*mark2*/ double[100];
#pragma warning restore IDE0055

Hackish way, because there is no proper way to set up formatting for this, so why not just temporarly disable formatting. You can also use #pragma warning disable format
