Visual Studio Oddity - Case Statement extra indenting

[Qik3Coder]

Why does VS add an extra indent on the parens for the CASE block? Is there a way to turn that off?
No other logic block does that.

switch (DisplayMethod)
{
	case CONSTANTS.DisplayMethod.Mode1:
         [b][red]------>[/red][/b]{
            		...
		}
	case CONSTANTS.DisplayMethod.Mode2:
        	{
                	...
		}
	case CONSTANTS.DisplayMethod.Mode3:
        	{
                	...
		}
}

This is YOUR extra level. Switch statement (informal syntax:

switch (,,,)
{
  case ...:
    statement
    ...
    statement
  case ...:
    ...
}

You add block statement after case (why?) - it's indented - what's a problem?

You're talking about the pair of curly braces? Didn't realize they were optional here.
This is the only control structure that doesn't require a pair of braces for a multi-line logic block.

With your statement, I was able to find this:
Option->Text Editor->C#->Formatting->Indentation->Indent case contents

Unchecking that option makes the CASE block indent in a similar fashion to IF/FOR/WHILE

Thanks!

Some addition:
No such animal as "case block" in C family languages. Case construct is a label only - marked point in the switch statement block.
