How to stop Visual Studio 2008 collapsing white space between operands and operator?

For example I like to keep my rig开发者_如何学Goht hand operands left aligned in the same col:

int a                       = 1;
string aLongVaribleName     = "test";

But if I touch the code such as adding the ';' at the end VS collapses it to:

int a = 1;
string aLongVaribleName = "test";

Is there any option to stop VS doing this?

Tools > Options > TextEditor > C# > Formatting

Go to Tools > Options...Then go to Text Editor > C# > Formatting > General. There are 3 auto format options there.

There is a VB macro for VS03/05, should be good for 08 also: http://omegacoder.com/?p=8

Bit off topic, as for VS2010, you can use either:
