Visual Studio comment position adjusting

Question

Okay, maybe it's a bit noob and silly question but I couldn't google anything

When I'm writing my code in C#, I'm making comments at the end of the command lines

Some lines are longer and some are shorter so the comments are at different positions too

For example:

int N=10; //comment1
SomeFunctionWithLongName() //comment2
AnotherFunction() //comment3

And I'd like to have it in cleaner and neater form:

int N=10;                     //comment1
SomeFunctionWithLongName()    //comment2
AnotherFunction()             //comment3

I can work hard and use tabs and spaces to get the result but it's tedious and gets all destroyed if I change anything in my code

Is there any automatic tool that would set the equal positions for all my comments, adjusted for the longest line

Well, unfortunately there is no directly option in Visual Studio 2010 for aligment comments like your situation.

But in my mind, I have an idea. There is an extension called Code alignment for Visual Studio 2010 and 2012. Let me show you a piece of code with this extenion;

When you write;

foo = bar();
foobar = foo();

The extension aligns this lines based on = ;

foo    = bar;
foobar = foo;

So when you write your comments, they are automaticly will align like;

foo    = bar; //comment1
foobar = foo; //comment2
