Resharper: remove empty line before brackets

Question

In Resharper 9.2 and Visual Studio 14 (2015), I would like to remove a blank line before a opening bracket on Cleanup Code(Ctrl+E, Ctrl+C). I cannot find a setting for this. Here is some sample code.

What I have:

namespace TestApp.Test

{
    public class Program

    {
        private string _foo;

        private string _bar;

        public string Qux { get; set; }

        private Program()

        {
        }
    }
}

What I want:

namespace TestApp.Test
{
    public class Program
    {
        private string _foo;

        private string _bar;

        public string Qux { get; set; }

        private Program()
        {
        }
    }
}

The options 'Remove blank lines after "{" and before "}" in declaration' and 'Remove blank lines after "{" and before "}" in code' do not work for this issue.

When I set option 'Keep max blank lines in declarations' to '0' the blank line is removed, but also all the blank lines between fields and properties. Therefor, I would like to keep it at '1'.

What I don't want:

namespace TestApp.Test
{
    public class Program
    {
        private string _foo;
        private string _bar;
        public string Qux { get; set; }
        private Program()
        {
        }
    }
}

Answer 1

1. Go to Resharper->Options->Code Editing->C#->Formatting Style->Blank Lines
2. Set 'Keep max blank lines in declarations' to '0'
3. Set 'Around single line field' to '1'
4. Enjoy

Using Visual Studio 2017

• Under Environment tab > Keyboard
• Search for "DeleteBlank" and select Edit.DeleteBlankLines
• Add a new shortcut for example Ctrl+D,Ctrl+E
• Assign > OK

select all text and hit the shortcut

in Current Project or Entire Solution use regular expressions

As mentioned here

Visual Studio has an ability to delete empty lines in replace operation using regular expressions.

• Click Ctrl-H (quick replace)

• Tick "Use Regular Expressions" or press Alt+E

• In Find specify ^\s*$\n|\r

• In Replace box delete everything.
