Did you know about dotnet format? Have you used it before?
I have it now running in production where it opens a PR every day when it detects formatting errors in our codebase.

I generally use Resharper for this similar purpose. Although im not sure if it fixes spaces and indents. But it definitely fixes and sorts imports.

[@jfversluis]

@@gizmo3399 That's a nice one! I don't know what Resharper does or does not do... I can imagine it also looks at you .editorconfig file and does some of that stuff as well

I'm using format on save extension, is this something similar

[@jfversluis]

That would be cool! Do you have a link?

@@jfversluis not on my pc, but I think it's this :. marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=WinstonFeng.FormatonSave

[@jfversluis]

Hm that one seems to do some custom things. I found this one: marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=mynkow.FormatdocumentonSave that does changes based on your .editorconfig file. Not sure what it uses under the hood, but since it is both based on your .editorconfig it should have the same end result anyway
