Visual Studio 2022 Professional New Class Code Template-CodePudding

I want VS to generate new classes using the new way of declaring namespaces, ie:

namespace A.Namespace.For.Class;
public class ANewClass
{
}

But my VS2022 still uses the old way, ie:

namespace A.Namespace.For.Class
{
    public class ANewClass
    {
    }
}

So I tried to change the template file located at C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Professional\Common7\IDE\ItemTemplates\CSharp\Code\1033\Class\Class.cs

I changed it to the below:

namespace $rootnamespace$;
public class $safeitemrootname$
{
}

But it looks like VS2022 can't interpret the semicolon after the namespace's name because it still uses the old style. But as soon as I remove the semicolon, VS starts to use the new style except that I now have to manually add that semicolon myself.

Anyone knows how to escape that semicolon in that code template file? No documentation seems to be available.

CodePudding user response：

You don't have to change the template, this is configurable, go to

Options > Text Editor > C# > Code Style > General

In Code block preferences section, change Namespace declarations to File scoped.
