I talked about the .editorconfig file a long time ago as a way to standardize code style conventions in your team. These conventions allow Visual Studio to offer automatic style and format fixes to clean up your document.
But did you know that in Visual Studio 2019, you can generate an .editorconfig file dynamically based on the style and formatting found in your existing codebase?
- Go to Tools –> Options –> IntelliCode.
- Change the EditorConfig inference setting to Enabled.
- Right click on you solution in the Solution Explorer and choose Add –> New EditorConfig (IntelliCode)
After you add the file in this way, IntelliCode automatically populates it with code style conventions it infers from your codebase.
