In spite of having web essential & productive power tool installed for Visual Studio 2012, javascript code with in aspx page doesn't indent automatically.

This is how I type:

for (var i=0;i<=10;i++)
{
}

This is how I want to indent:

for (var i = 0; i <= 10; i++){
}

I am not sure which extension for VS 2012 used to do it on my older PC. The moment I type, end curly brace, it will indent my javascript code automatically. I did look at settings but didn't get it right

Can anyone help me out?

  • By "didn't get it right" do you mean you didn't find the settings or you did but it didn't work? Commented Jan 22, 2015 at 5:09
  • If I go by features, it is stated that VS 2012 or web essential take care of indentation but it is not working. I am not sure if I had any other extension which was doing that for me. Commented Jan 22, 2015 at 5:51

try Tools | Options | Text Editor| Javascript | Formatting | New Lines gives you the option to put an open brace on a new line. Uncheck that option and see if that works.
