Is there an online C# beautifier that is easy to paste-beautify-copy from?

I am looking for one that has options for:

  • Indentation (4 spaces, n spaces, tab char, etc)
  • Curly braces placement (on the statement line, on own line)

Much like Jsbeautier, but for C#.

  • Any particular reason you want it to be online rather than a program on your computer? – Nick Dickinson-Wilde Mar 23 '14 at 22:44
  • @NickWilde because the code I mostly beautify is copypasted from SO posts which have pieces of code that do not compile or are errenous by themselves, so that is out of the question. – user1306322 Mar 23 '14 at 23:01
  • I would expect that there are some plugins that could do that without compiling but I see what you mean – Nick Dickinson-Wilde Mar 23 '14 at 23:13

    Oh, wait, you mean why not offline if there could be such a program. No reason why not, really, but online could be much more accessible and not require additional installation, which is nice if my notebook isn't with me. – user1306322 Mar 23 '14 at 23:15

C# Formatter Online

Pros:

  • Correct beautify.
  • Online.
  • Input C# code and copy/paste c# beautified code.
  • Download .cs beautified version.

Cons:

  • Only two options for formatting fonts: small and big.
  • K&R bracing, which is not usual C# formatting.

  • K&R bracing was exactly what I've been looking for. Huge surprise for me that it exists. – polkovnikov.ph Jan 15 at 2:03

C# Viewer

It does not really have any of the extra options that you want. However it does very nicely beautify - and also minify - C# code.

It also lets you one click download the code as a *.cs file and load C# code to process from a file or web location as well as Copy/Paste.

  • This is nice and it has some auto-formatted editing capabilities, but editing the beautified code messes up the space characters and it doesn't have options for curly braces or any other options at that. – user1306322 Mar 23 '14 at 23:20
  • Yeah that's what I saw but I'm not aware of any other options (I used it fair while ago for some SO code myself but since I rarely use C# I haven't had much inclination to search for something better. – Nick Dickinson-Wilde Mar 23 '14 at 23:23

Although it has to be installed a better solution is to use SublimeAStyleFormatter - which is a Sublime Text Plugin.

You have to first install Sublime Text (painless) and then install SublimeAStyleFormatter which is also quite painless. There are a couple methods you can use to install it (all of which are detailed in the readme) but I recommend the Package Control method as very easy.

There are quite a few options:

I would use the online c# formatter http://codebeautify.org/csharpviewer where I can formate as well as share my code as public or private.
