Nothing improves the maintainability
of an application more than the readability of
the source code.
FormatCS is a program that will improve the maintainability of a C Sharp
application,
including ASP.NET applications in C#, by reformatting the source code into a
readable
and consistent format.
FormatCS is extremely useful in
ensuring a consistent format within a developmental
group and it is worth its
weight in gold when dealing with code written by others.
*** Features of
FormatCS ***
1) FAST! execution.
2) Extensive Formatting Capabilities.
3) Reformatting in-place (no output filename required).
4) User Preferences stored in an INI file (no Command Line
options needed).
5) Automatic creation of backup files.
6) Process entire Projects with one command.
7) Process entire Solutions with one command.
8) Process specific files; i.e. MyFile.cs
9) Process generic class of files; i.e., F*.cs
10) Automatic creation of a Restore.bat file that allows
easy return to the state just prior to executing
FormatCS..
11) Fast and easy to install; fast and easy to remove.
12) Does not alter the Registry.
*** Advantages of FormatCS ***
The major advantage of FormatCS is to enforce a consistent and
very readable format for source code that is developed inhouse.
This reduces the cost of software maintenance very significantly.
Anyone that has developed code can attest to the fact that well
formatted source code is much easier to read and much easier to
maintain than source code that is not well formatted.
The best way to appreciate the
capabilities of FormatCS is to view source code
used as input to FormatCS and then examine the output that is
produced by
FormatCS from that input. To demonstrate the capabilities
of FormatCS, the
sample input file has been mutilated to represent a worst case
scenario.

Please download a copy of FormatCS and give it a test drive on some of your
code. We firmly believe, based upon the responses that we have received to
date, that you will be impressed!
The Beta Version will expire about 90
days from date downloaded. It has no
other limitations.
