When I insert a new Eventhandler or function VS 2005 does this automatically with an
indent which I don't like. Furthermore I would change the curly bracket handling.

Is there soemthing like a built-in source code beautifier which re-arranges the source code
according to my personal preferences ?

There are lots of options in Tools|Options in VS2005 for configuring the C#
formatter. If you want something beyond what those provide, I think your
only choice is to turn off smart indent and use an external tool to format
the code the way you like it.

ReSharper provides source code rewriting with a ton of options for
style. (does a billion other things too)
