🧹 One Click, Whole File Formatted

Remove unused usings, sort imports, fix spacing, apply conventions — all automatically. Code Cleanup saves hours of manual formatting.

🔧 Set Up Profile

Analyze → Code Cleanup → Configure

Create profiles:
- "Full Cleanup": Remove/sort usings, format document, apply file header
- "Quick Fix": Only remove usings + format
- "Team Standard": Enforce team conventions

Shortcut: Ctrl + K, Ctrl + E (run last profile)
          Ctrl + K, Ctrl + L (select profile)

✨ .editorconfig Integration

# .editorconfig in repo root
root = true

[*]
indent_style = space
indent_size = 4
trim_trailing_whitespace = true

[*.cs]
# Enforce team conventions automatically
dotnet_sort_system_directives_first = true
dotnet_separate_import_directive_groups = true
csharp_using_directive_placement = outside_namespace

✅ What It Fixes Automatically

• Remove unnecessary using statements
• Sort usings (System.* first)
• Apply spacing (braces, indentation)
• Add/remove blank lines between members
• Fix naming violations (if configured)
• Apply file header template

💡 Pro Tip: Run on Save

Tools → Options → Text Editor → Code Cleanup
Check "Run Code Cleanup on Save"

Now every file you save is automatically formatted to team standards.
Zero manual formatting effort forever.
