Automatically Format Document in Visual Studio?

Question

Anyway of invoking the Edit > Advanced > Format Document" VS command automatically when switching away from a document / routinely with a timer / on entering a document?

Its really irritating Ctrl+E+D 'ing everytime you want to prettify your code.

Answer 1

ReSharper does this every time you close a brace, press semicolon or paste some code in. It's not quite what you're asking for, but I don't think you'll notice the difference. Oh, and it rocks in so many other ways as well.

Answer 2

You can try this extension for Visual Studio 2013 I wrote recently. This is almost the same as the feature in Productivity power tools but also works for *.cshtml, *.xml and all formats which support the command "Format Document"
