Visual Studio Code: How change c# case statement bracket indent format style?

Question

I am writing c# code in visual studio code and I didn't install any formatter or beautifier, so I guess "C# for Visual Studio Code (Powered by OmniSharp)" is using a default formatter (whatever that is).

I like to use brackets in case statements, however, the formatter is indenting the bracket as follows.

switch (name)
{
    case "Bob":
        {
            break;
        }

    case "Jim"
        {
           break;
        }
}

How can I change the formatter so that it doesn't indent the brackets in the case statements?

In visual studio code:

• create file with name .editorconfig
• add the line csharp_indent_case_contents_when_block = false

In visual studio: tools > options > text editor > C# > Code Style > Formatting > Indentation > uncheck "indent case contents (when block) Options menu image
