Is there any way to prevent Resharper from reformatting comments? I'd like to put my comments behind the code it self aligned using tabs. Like:

private static IEnumerable<string> GetOperands(string grammar)
    => grammar.Replace(GetOpcode(grammar), "")                      // remove operand from grammar
        .Split(new[] {','}, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)  // operands are split with a ,
        .Select(s => s.Trim());                                     // remove any whitespace

However when I do a code cleanup Resharper formats it as:

private static IEnumerable<string> GetOperands(string grammar)
    => grammar.Replace(GetOpcode(grammar), "") // remove operand from grammar
        .Split(new[] {','}, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries) // operands are split with a ,
        .Select(s => s.Trim()); // remove any whitespace

Which (in my opinion) does not increase the readability.

    Well I don't want to disable it entirely and the xml doc is something else than the regular comments. Thanks anyway. – joell Oct 24 '16 at 09:08
  • Either way those comments are formatted they are clutter and would be better without them, you don't need comments to describe what the code does, you write code in such a way that it describes itself. Comments could be used to explain why though (https://blog.codinghorror.com/code-tells-you-how-comments-tell-you-why/) – Piers Myers Oct 25 '16 at 09:28

    I appeal to not use such comments =) If you really want to make the code more readable, then extract methods. – Matthias Oct 27 '16 at 10:55

    I admit that for this piece of code the comments are clutter. It was just to demonstrate that I align my comments in one column without giving a large example. So the question still stands, can I prevent resharper from removing whitespace before a comment? – joell Oct 27 '16 at 12:15
