How do you format your Compound Statements in Delphi and C#? [closed]

Question

As a long time Pascal and Delphi developer, I always line up my begin and ends thus :

begin
  if x = y then
  begin
     ...
     ...
  end
  else
    for i := 0 to 20 do
    begin
      ...
      ...
    end;
end;

What drives me nuts is code formatted thus :

begin
  if x = y then begin
     ...
     ...
  end
  else
    for i := 0 to 20 do begin
      ...
      ...
    end;
end;

When there are a few levels of compound statements I find this hard to read. The above code is ok, because it's not that complicated, but for consistency I'd prefer all begins and ends aligned.

As I start using c#, I find myself aligning curly brackets too. What's the norm in the C# world?

Edit :

Someone has pointed out that this is the type of question that shouldn't be asked on SO. I don't see why not. I'm in the process of setting up a coding guidelines document. I know I'll get some resistance to certain things, I'm hoping to get a few answers here, so I can be ready to meet that resistance head-on.

I personally use:

if Condition then
begin
  DoThis;
end else
begin
  DoThat;
end;

See Object Pascal Style Guide.

In compound if statements, put each element separating statements on a new line: Example:

// INCORRECT
if A < B then begin
  DoSomething; 
  DoSomethingElse;
end else begin
  DoThis;
  DoThat;
end;

// CORRECT
if A < B then 
begin
  DoSomething; 
  DoSomethingElse;
end 
else 
begin
  DoThis;
  DoThat;
end;

Here are a few more variations that are considered valid:

// CORRECT
if Condition then
begin
  DoThis;
end else
begin
  DoThat;
end;

// CORRECT
if Condition then
begin
  DoThis;
end
else
  DoSomething;

// CORRECT
if Condition then
begin
  DoThis;
end else
  DoSomething;
