Indentation is broken in Visual Studio .cshtml files

Question

It\'s the most infuriating thing and after 45 minutes of Googling and testing I caved to the forum gods... I simply cannot live without automatic indentation, even if it\'s

Answer 1

You mentioned that you just installed Resharper before this problem started occurring, so your problem is most likely being caused by Resharper.

By default Resharper does many extra formatting fixes as you type, but you'll likely find a bunch of these default fixes conflict with your coding style.

You can configure Resharper's code formatting options via Resharper > Options > Code Editing > HTML|Razor|etc > Formatting Style

In this case, your problem was the setting Do not indent children of contained tags that you didn't want by default.
