SVN automatic code formatting on check in?

Question

Is this possible? If so how do I do this?

The code is in C# and we are using TortoiseSVN.

I simply want to auto format the code on every checking.

It is possible, but also a very, very bad idea.

No automatic code formatters are perfect, and I can almost guarantee that it will tick people off.

That said, if you want to do it, look into using pre-commit hooks.

Is the SVN server running on a Windows or Linux system? And what code-formatter do you want to use?
