Disable Auto-Tab in Visual Studio via a dat file

I wrote a dat file for when I'm writing assembly to give me some syntax highlighting, the problem I am running into is that one way to do a comment in MASM is to use a semicolon and you typically tab a fair bit away from the actual code before you write the comment (at least I do). Well whenever I do this, it messes up all of the formatting in the .asm file because it tries to format the document whenever it sees a semicolon, I am wondering is there a way to turn off auto tabbing and other stuff via a dat file? I just know how to load a dat file that tells the editor some words to highlight, that's it.

Thanks in advance for any input on this :)

You can export the specific settings for a certain project and then import it later. This will save .vssettings XML format file.

Just define you tab setting before in Options dialog from the Tools menu, selecting the Text Editor -> Your prefered language-> Formatting -> General page, and unchecking relevant check- box ( in your case tabbing).

Then in Tools > Import and Export Settings , export the settings.

I hope it sort your issue.
