Like most developer I love jQuery and appreciate the intellisense support in Visual Studio. I am very particular about the format for my code and often use the Document Format option of the IDE. What I noticed was that my braces were never placed on new lines, and I wanted to change this. So here’s what you can do :

  1. In the Tools menu, select Options…
  2. Check the Show all settings options
  3. In the Text Editor > JScript choose the Formatting option.
  4. On the right pane, there are two options under the ‘New lines’ section. Check them as per your requirement.
