Formatting and Linting

You can format your C# source code using the C# Dev Kit extension, a lightweight extension to enhance your C# development experience in Visual Studio Code.

Navigate to File > Preferences > Settings (⌘, (Windows, Linux Ctrl+,)) to customize how your .cs files are formatted. The Settings editor gives you a list of different formatting options (particularly under Commonly Used and Text Editor) that you can adjust across your specific workspace or your entire user profile.
