When opening a text based file in Visual Studio 2010 it will then write my edits with CRLF instead of the line ending format of the original file. How can I stop VS from doing this? Any half decent editor should have this capability.
What's worse is that since VS wrote the file with portions in CRLF, it then (when opening the file again) will present a dialog asking me to convert the files line ending.
see http://editorconfig.org and https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/ide/create-portable-custom-editor-options?view=vs-2017
If it does not exist, add a new file called .editorconfig for your project
manipulate editor config to use your preferred behaviour.
I prefer spaces over tabs, and CRLF for all code files.
Here's my .editorconfig
# http://editorconfig.org
root = true
[*]
indent_style = space
indent_size = 4
end_of_line = crlf
charset = utf-8
trim_trailing_whitespace = true
insert_final_newline = true
[*.md]
trim_trailing_whitespace = false
[*.tmpl.html]
indent_size = 4
[*.scss]
indent_size = 2
