TypeName | ClosingCurlyBracketsMustNotBePrecededByBlankLine |
CheckId | SA1508 |
Category | Layout Rules |
Cause
A closing curly bracket within a C# element, statement, or expression is preceded by a blank line.
Rule Description
To improve the readability of the code, StyleCop requires blank lines in certain situations, and prohibits blank lines in other situations. This results in a consistent visual pattern across the code, which can improve recognition and readability of unfamiliar code.
A violation of this rule occurs when a closing curly bracket is preceded by a blank line. For example:
public bool Enabled
{
get
{
return this.enabled;
}
}
The code above would generate two instances of this violation, since there are two places where closing curly brackets are preceded by blank lines.
How to Fix Violations
To fix a violation of this rule, remove the blank line preceding the closing curly bracket.
