Indentation is broken in Visual Studio .cshtml files

Question

It\'s the most infuriating thing and after 45 minutes of Googling and testing I caved to the forum gods... I simply cannot live without automatic indentation, even if it\'s

Answer 1

Since 3 weeks (since Update to Visual Studio 2015 SP 2 after VS 2013) I had the problem, that copy/paste and comment in cshtml files destroy my format of my file. Interestingly the tab indent was at column 7. I don't understand why.

After Update to VS 2015 SP 3, the problem was not banned.

Then I found out, that in my cshtml files a "@" sign destroyed my copy/paste/comments:

@model MAWGridModel

@if (Model != null)
{
    @Html.DevExpress().GridView(settings =>
    {
        settings.Name = "MAWAktionenErgebnisGrid";
    ...
    }).Bind(Model).GetHtml();
}

The "@"before "Html.DevEpress()..." destroyed all. Here the code snippet which works for me. (I hope it will really do.)

@model MAWGridModel

@if (Model != null)
{
    Html.DevExpress().GridView(settings =>
    {
        settings.Name = "MAWAktionenErgebnisGrid";
        // ...
    }).Bind(Model).Render();
}

Hopefully it helps you.
