VS2005 loses tabs when pasting

[Paul E Collins]

In Visual Studio 2005, I copy a block of code with tabs in it, such
as:

myLabel.Text = "Please wait ...";
progressBar.Value = 0;

(In the above, the two = signs are aligned with each other using
tabs.)

When I paste it, the tabs are removed, moving the = signs out of sync.

VS2003 did not have this problem, and the tab settings in Tools >
Options > Text Editor don't seem to control it in VS2005. How can I
fix this unwanted reformatting without actually turning off the good
features like IntelliSense auto-indentation of new lines?

Eq.

Load the macros up and select the lines you want to align as you described and
run the "LineEmUp" macro.

Good luck with your project,

I know you mentioned Options > Text Editor, but have you tried Options

Text Editor > C# > Formatting > Adjust indentation on paste.

I've just tried it, and it seems to work.

Personally, I rarely see the benefit in taking the time to line up
such things... but up to you ;-p

That's it: thanks. I'd expected it to be under "Tabs", if anywhere.
