C# Style

Code Formatting

7. Maintain indentation standards. This is crucial to readable code. Always use spaces instead of tabs. Default setting is 4 spaces, and this should be kept if possible, so as to remain compatible with other teams. However, some houses have adopted the 2-space standard because their code-base was created in the days of smaller screens and before people learned to write proper functions. (cref. “Functions should do one thing”)

8. In C#, curly braces should be on a new line. There are two exceptions:

   1. Very short object initializers, e.g. var message = new Literal { ID = "Message" };
   2. Property declarations, whether automatic properties or simple getters/setters direct to private members.

9. Curly braces for delegates, collections, or object initializers should be indented 4 spaces (ME). Other specifications say differently, but following those specifications would require reformatting your indents every time you change a type or variable name, or even switch to var instead of explicit type declarations.

   var sqlParameters = new[]
       {
           new SqlParameter("@accountId", accountId),
           new SqlParameter("@loginSource", ipAddress),
       };
   using (var sqlCommand = new DataAccessObject())
   {
       sqlCommand.FillObject(sqlParameters, delegate(IDataReader reader)
           {
               while (reader.Read())
               {
                   // Todo: Put code here.
               }
           });
   }

10. Omit parenthesis when using object initializers, e.g. var message = new Literal { ID = "Message" };
