How to get Visual Studio 2017 editor to support a different coding style?

Question

The coding style that my employer uses states that the brace { should go on the same line, not the next one. Example:

class bar {
  private void foo() {
      if (1) {
        Console.WriteLine("great");
      } else {
        Console.WriteLine("also great");
      }
  }
}

Visual Studio's default is to place braces on their own line.
How can I get Visual Studio to respect this coding style?

Answer 1

(I don't have 2017, but this is what I see in 2015, so it may be similar.)

Under Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> C# -> Formatting -> New Lines, there are several options for "Place open brace on new line for <X>" (where X may be "types" or "methods", etc), as well as "Place <X> on new line", where X is "else" or "catch" or "members in anonymous types".

You can check and uncheck these boxes as required to match the style your company sets up.

Answer 2

I believe it is called K&R style. I use JetBrains ReSharper , but it is not free.
