Here’s a handy macro script for visual studio I knocked together today. It runs “edit, format document” on every document of the listed file types.
You have to keep an eye on it as it’s interactive and does sometimes pop up a message and wait for an answer.
You can get the vb file at http://github.com/timabell/vs-formatter-macro More info at http://wiki.github.com/timabell/vs-formatter-macro
Below is the original code. Note that this is older than the version available on github above.
