Spacing Rules

Cause

A single-line comment within a C# code file does not begin with a single space.

Rule Description

A violation of this rule occurs when a single-line comment does not begin with a single space. For example:

    private void Method1()

    {

        //A single-line comment.

        //   A single-line comment.

    }

 

The comments should begin with a single space after the leading forward slashes:

    private void Method1()

    {

        // A single-line comment.

        // A single-line comment.

    }

 

An exception to this rule occurs when the comment is being used to comment out a line of code. In this case, the space can be omitted if the comment begins with four forward slashes to indicate out-commented code. For example:

    private void Method1()

    {

        ////int x = 2;

        ////return x;

    }

 

How to Fix Violations

To fix a violation of this rule, ensure that the comment begins with a single space. If the comment is being used to comment out a line of code, ensure that the comment begins with four forward slashes, in which case the leading space can be omitted.
