[#VS2012] HowTo: Align Assignments (almost almost in #VS2013)

Hello.

After the post yesterday about the car keys in Visual Studio 2013 completion, today via twitter Ramon Ordiales (@ramoneeza) proposed to me another couple of interesting changes for the Publisher of C# at VS2013. One of them was to align the assignments of values “=” in the code editor.

Pulling from memory, and bing.com I remembered the 2012 Productivity Power Tools for Visual Studio 2012, do.Transform this:

therein:

Eye, disabling the options default of “Insert space after…” “in the formatting c#.”

Then I realized by modifying the vsix to see if it might work in Visual Studio 2013. Once unzipped the package, I have modified the manifesto to support VS2013 (lines 19 to 23)

The installer of pearls… everything works great-

However what you are after installing it is the least similar to Visual Studio 2013. We will this solution does not work … unless you want to play with fire, although this is subject for another post.
