It’s common coding convention to add a space surrounding method parameters. However, it can be quite annoying to keep remembering it. Examples of such convention are:
Console.WriteLine( "\nFinished" );
int var = Int32.Parse( Console.Read() );
DoSomething( Int32.Parse( Console.Read() ),
DoSomethingElse( var ) );
As you can see, it gets more and more annoying when you have nested method calls, as closing each requires placing a space between parenthesis too. You can easily add such formatting to a whole solution by executing this simple macro:
Sub FormatParenthesis()
Dim result As vsFindResult
DTE.ExecuteCommand("Edit.Replace")
DTE.Windows.Item(Constants.vsWindowKindFindReplace).Activate()
DTE.Find.FindWhat = "{[^ (]}\)"
DTE.Find.ReplaceWith = "\1 )"
DTE.Find.Target = vsFindTarget.vsFindTargetSolution
DTE.Find.MatchCase = False
DTE.Find.MatchWholeWord = False
DTE.Find.MatchInHiddenText = True
DTE.Find.PatternSyntax = vsFindPatternSyntax.vsFindPatternSyntaxRegExpr
DTE.Find.ResultsLocation = vsFindResultsLocation.vsFindResultsNone
DTE.Find.Action = vsFindAction.vsFindActionReplaceAll
result = DTE.Find.Execute()
Do While result = vsFindResult.vsFindResultReplaced
result = DTE.Find.Execute()
Loop
DTE.Find.FindWhat = "\({[^ )]}"
DTE.Find.ReplaceWith = "( \1"
result = DTE.Find.Execute()
Do While result <> vsFindResult.vsFindResultNotFound
result = DTE.Find.Execute()
Loop
DTE.Windows.Item(Constants.vsWindowKindFindReplace).Close()
End Sub
