Format all CS files in a Visual Studio solution (UGLY VERSION)
// Open up the NuGet Package Manager in Visual Studio and paste the following line to format every file in the solution.
// I'll write a not-so-ugly version later. ;)
// BUG! This doesn't recursively grab all files from the project. :(

Looks like you have been after a solution to this problem for awhile now - back in 2009 I blogged about a Tweet you made and provided a macro solution to achieve this:

I know its not nuget, but it is a solution, and it works recursively. ;)

It looks like you're trying to write PowerShell. Would you like me to launch the PowerShell for Dummies Clippy Lives Forever Edition for you to do this?
