Visual Studio Code doesn't format C# code

Question

I created a new file, set the C# language, and wrote some code. Then I pressed Ctrl + Shift + F (or F1 → Format Document). And got I the error

Sorry, but there is no formatter for 'csharp'-files installed.

Also, I installed C# Extension, but it didn't help. The Visual Studio Code version is 1.18.0.

If you have prettier as the default formatter as I do, you should do this:

1. Open your vscode settings with these shortcut: ctrl + ,, or

2. Then click to "open settings (JSON)":

3. This is where you should paste the below snippet.

This is my config:

{   "editor.defaultFormatter": "esbenp.prettier-vscode",   "[csharp]": {     "editor.defaultFormatter": "ms-dotnettools.csharp"   } } 

For you to apply this configuration you need c# extension.
