How to have { on the 'new' line for object initialize in Visual Studio

Question

How configure Visual Studio to format code like :

var obj = new Class1 {
    Property1 = 42,
    Property2 = "Some value",
    Property3 = new Class2 {
        Property1 = 7777,
        Property2 = "Other value"
    }
}

When Visual Studio auto format, it give :

var obj = new Class1
{
    Property1 = 42,
    Property2 = "Some value",
    Property3 = new Class2
    {
        Property1 = 7777,
        Property2 = "Other value"
    }
}

The curly bracket is put on a new line.

You can try the search tool (Control + Q). By typing "braces" you get the option "New line options for braces", where you can set it.
