Unindent in Expression Blend
Warning: Please consider that this post is over 12 years old and the content may no longer be relevant.
Unindenting in Expression Blend drove me mad, I just couldn’t get it to work. Today I figured out why.
The code I am copying from Visual Studio uses spaces for indentation, in Blend I was using tabs, this means when I paste code from VS, Blend doesn’t see any tabs to ‘unindent’.
Simple solution - make sure your Visual Studio indentation settings match your Blend settings.
1. Expression Blend indent settings
2. Visual Studio indent settings
