Break Apart/LineUp Attributes (XAML)

• Aug 03, 2020

Purpose

This Code Formatter is used to collapse the attributes of a XAML tag into a single line or break them apart.

Availability

Available when the caret is on a XAML tag with two or more attributes.

Usage

1. Place the caret on a XAML tag with two or more attributes.

   Note

   The blinking cursor shows the caret’s position at which the Code Formatter is available.

   XAML

   <Window x:Class="DemoApplication.DemoWindow"│
   xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
           xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
           Title="DemoWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
   

2. Press the Ctrl + . or Ctrl + ~ shortcut to invoke the Code Actions menu.
3. Select Break Apart Attributes from the menu (LineUp Attributes if you need to collapse attributes to a single line).

After execution, the Code Formatter removes the line breaks and converts the attributes into a single-line form or expands them to a multiple-line form.
