VS "format document" setting to respect author's newline choices?-CodePudding

Normally my properties look like this ("Version 1"):

    public string Foo {get; set;}

I am fine with this. But sometimes my names get long, and it's not so good ("Version 2"):

    public TypeWithALongName<AnotherLongNameInAngleBrackets> ThePropertyHasALongNameTooAndItsTooWideForTheScreen {get; set;}

When the name gets so long that the line isn't visible on the screen, it's not so good. I'd like to mitigate this by inserting a newline ("Version 3"):

    public TypeWithALongName<AnotherLongNameInAngleBrackets> 
       ThePropertyHasALongNameTooAndItsTooWideForTheScreen {get; set;}

Now I can read it again! I like this. But VS does not. Format Document (control-K, control-D) now changes it to this ("Version 4"):

       public TypeWithALongName<AnotherLongNameInAngleBrackets> 
       ThePropertyHasALongNameTooAndItsTooWideForTheScreen 
    {get; set;}

I want a way to ask VS to respect my newline choices in this area! If I use any of versions 1-4, Format Document should leave it alone. Is that possible?

If you want that behaviour. You can change the following setting. Go to Tools->Options. In the Options List. Navigate to Text Editor -> C# -> Code Style -> Formatting -> New Lines

Uncheck the box for "Place open brace for properties, indexers, and events".

This will give you the behaviour you want.
