Visual Studio 2005/2012: How to keep first curly brace on same line?

Trying to get my css / C# functions to look like this:

body {
    color:#222;
}

instead of this:

body 
{
    color:#222;
}

when I auto-format the code.

C#

1. In the Tools Menu click Options
2. Click Show all Parameters (checkbox at the bottom left) (Show all settings in VS 2010)
3. Text Editor
4. C#
5. Formatting
6. New lines

And there check when you want new lines with brackets

Css:

almost the same, but fewer options

1. In the Tools Menu click Options
2. Click Show all Parameters (checkbox at the bottom left) (Show all settings in VS 2010)
3. Text Editor
4. CSS
5. Format

And than you select the formatting you want (in your case second radio button)

For Visual Studio 2015:

Tools → Options

In the sidebar, go to Text Editor → C# → Formatting → New Lines

and uncheck every checkbox in the section "New line options for braces"

For Mac OS users:
Preferences → Source Code → Code Formatting → choose what ever you want to change (like C# source code) → C# Format → Edit -→ New Lines

Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> C# -> Formatting -> New Lines -> New Line Options for braces -> Uncheck all boxes.

The official MS guidelines (at the time in 2008) tells you to have the curly brace on the same line as the method/property/class and many other things which are not enforced in Visual Studio.

You can change all these auto-text settings under:
Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> [The language you want to change]

UPDATE: This was based on the book "Framework Design Guidelines" written by some of the core-people from the .NET-team. If you look at the source-code for the likes of ASP.NET MVC, this is no longer accurate.

Go to Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> CSS -> Formatting. Click "Semi-expanded," which matches the style you defined.

For CSS you'll need the 'Semi Expanded' option.

For Visual Studio Mac OS (Community edition) version 8.3 you need to do the following:

Preferences -> Source Code (in left menu) -> Code Formatting -> C# source code -> C# Format -> Press Edit

Select New Lines from the Category dropdown menu:

Deselect each option in the New line options for braces:

There is a specific formatting setting in VS 2008/2010 to keep the open brace on the same line:

Click Tools->Options
Select 'CSS' within 'Text Editor' tree node
Select 'Formatting' under 'CSS' node
Click 'Semi-expanded' radio button

You will see a preview what the various radio buttons avail will do to the formatting

If you're looking for this option within Visual Studio 2014, then it's under advanced and is now a 'Brace positions' drop down box:
