Best ways to format LINQ queries

My Formatting:

var allInventory = system.InventorySources
  .Select(src => new
  {
    Inventory = src.Value.GetInventory(product.OriginalProductId, true),
    Region = src.Value.Region
  })
  .GroupBy(
    i => i.Region,
    i => i.Inventory
  );

Notes:

  • Opening parens on methods are never worthy of a new line.
  • Closing parens match the indenting of the line that contains the opening paren.
  • The src => new stays on the same line as Select, because it’s just not worthy of a new line.
  • The anonymous type always gets block treatment, just like if it was used outside of a query (but the closing paren is not worthy of a new line).
  • The two parameter GroupBy overload is not typically called. Although it could easy fit on a single line, use an extra line to make it clear that something unusual is happening.
