Stop Visual Studio 2013 from automatically removing extra spaces in assignments

问题

I'm trying to align some assignments to improve readability, but each time I paste something, Visual Studio 2013 automatically removes the extra spaces before the =.

For example, this:

static class Constants {
    public static string Something      = "A value";
    public static string SomethingElse  = "Another value";
}

gets re-formatted like this:

static class Constants {
    public static string Something = "A value";
    public static string SomethingElse = "Another value";
}

Is there a way to turn this off?

回答1:

This can be turned off in Tools->Options->Text Editor->C#->Formatting->Spacing via the "Ignore spaces in declaration statements" option.
