Visual Studio 2010 Auto-Formatting
I have the Productivity Power Tools extension installed on my machine, as well as VS 2010, but I seem to have developed a mysterious issue.
The IDE no longer auto-formats code when I enter a ; or } which is quite annoying, I made particular use of the auto-format on } option.
I found this question, but that doesn't solve my problem either (the settings suggested there were already the same in my IDE).
I can't really offer more information at the minute, it was working yesterday, I came into work this morning and it's just stopped working, I haven't changed any settings at all. Any help would be massively appreciated.

Typically I've seen this when my code wouldn't build, or I'd missed a closing brace } somewhere (or something similar), usually above the code that I'm looking at. Check that the code builds first just to remove it as a possibility, then try a forced auto format from the menu (Edit > Advanced > Format Document (Ctrl + K, Ctrl + D)). Does it still not work?
This may not solve the issue, but should help refine the problem.
