1 - I just started with Visual C# Express. Unfortunately it inserts spaces when you press tab, and I cannot find any place to change this behavior. Is it possible to change this? I want hard tabs, not spaces (and I am not interested in any debate about what people prefer and why).

2 - I'd also like to know if it's possible to change the code formatting. I don't want to turn it off. I just want to change a few things to my preference.

Never mind about number 1. Just after I finally decided to post this, I noticed the little checkbox in the lower left corner of options saying "Show all settings". ^^

I am still interested in 2 though.

Currently it auto formats like this:

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    label1.Text = "Hello, World!";
}

and I'd like it to format like this:

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
    label1.Text = "Hello, World!";
}

I doubt there is any place to change any of these, Visual Studio would be useless without them.

Without what?

Argh! I hate that 2nd formatting, but it seems standard, being what's used in others, e.g. Dev-C++ and Netbeans.

Go to Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> C# -> Formatting

It's not as complete as Eclipse or Code::Blocks, but you can still tweak things a bit
