Question

Hi I am using Visual Studio 2022. I want to share code cleanup on save setting with my team. How can i do it? I tried to export settings and import it but without success.

Answer 1

Not possible at the moment, 2023-09-19, but there is a ticket for it at Developer Community:

You can however achieve quite a good result with these settings:

Since Visual Studio 17.3 you can set these values in Configure Code Cleanup:

Fix analyzer warnings and errors set in EditorConfig
Fix all warnings and errors set in EditorConfig 

Then make sure to set Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> Code Cleanup -> "Run Code Cleanup profile on Save"

If every team member has these settings then it comes pretty close to shared Code Cleanup settings.

Answer 2

Menu: Tools -> Options
Open tree to: Text Editor -> C# -> Code Style -> General

Use the Generate .editorconfig file from Settings button.

Check that in to the root of your code repo.
