Object initializer format

Does anyone know the settings to use so that object initializers are left aligned with the declaration, like this?

Blah blah = new Blah
{
Foo = foo,
Bar = bar
};

I've experimented with the various options and the closest I can get is the braces aligned on the constructor:

Blah blah = new Blah

{

Foo = foo,

Bar = bar,

}

Re: Object initializer format

That was the first setting I tried, but setting it to BSD style actually looks a lot closer to GNU style than BSD. I had expected BSD style to left align with the declaration and GNU style to be indented, but both are indented. Seems the only difference is BSD style currently aligns with the new operator whereas GNU seems to indent two tabs or something like that. I even turned off "Align multiple constructs: Array, object and collection initializer" but this setting has no effect.

};

Re: Object initializer format

1) To format as in first topic message, go to Braces Layout -> Braces Layout -> Array and object initializer and set it to "At next line (BSD style)".

2) To format as in your sample, set the same parameter to "At end of line (K&R style)" and uncheck Others -> Align Multiline Constructs -> Array, object and collection initializer.
