Format C# code in Visual Studio

                        There are a few ways to format C# code in Visual Studio:

Keyboard shortcut: You can use the keyboard shortcut "Ctrl + K, Ctrl + D" to format the entire document or the currently selected code in Visual Studio.

Context menu: You can also right-click on the code editor and select "Format Document" or "Format Selection" from the context menu.

Menu bar: You can navigate to the "Edit" menu, select "Advanced", and then choose "Format Document" or "Format Selection".

Code cleanup: You can use the "Code Cleanup" feature in Visual Studio, which not only formats your code but also applies other code style preferences you have set. To access it, go to "Tools" > "Code Cleanup" and choose the desired code style configuration.

Extensions: There are several extensions available in the Visual Studio Marketplace that can help you format your code. One popular extension is "CodeMaid", which provides many code cleanup and formatting options.


Regardless of the method you choose, it's important to ensure that your code is consistently formatted and adheres to a defined coding style to make it more readable and maintainable. 

Please note that these options may not be available in all versions of Visual Studio or with all configurations. If neither of these options work for you, you may need to use an extension or modify your Visual Studio settings.
