Spacing

• A semicolon should always be followed by a single space, unless it is the last character on the line. A semicolon should never be preceded by any whitespace, unless it is the first character on the line (SA1002).

• Preprocessor keywords must not be preceded by space (SA1006).

• Operator keyword must be followed by a space (SA1007).

• Member access symbols must be spaced correctly (SA1019). A member access symbol should not have whitespace on either side, unless it is the first character on the line.

• Increment/decrement symbols must be spaced correctly (SA1020). There should be no whitespace between the increment or decrement symbol and the item that is being incremented or decremented.

• Positive/negative signs must be spaced correctly (SA1022, SA1021). A positive/negative sign should always be preceded by a single space, unless it comes after an opening square bracket or a parenthesis, or is the first character on the line. A positive/negative sign should never be followed by whitespace, and should never be the last character on a line.

• Colons must be spaced correctly (SA1024).

  • A colon appearing within an element declaration must always have a single space on either side, unless it is the first or last character on the line.

  • When the colon comes at the end of a label or case statement, it must always be followed by whitespace or be the last character on the line, but should never be preceded by whitespace.

  • When a colon is used within a conditional statement, it must always contain a single space on either side, unless the colon is the first or last character on the line.

• Code must not contain multiple whitespace characters in a row (SA1025).

• Within an implicitly typed new array allocation, there should not be any space between the new keyword and the opening array bracket (SA1026).

• Do not split null conditional operators (SA1029). The null conditional symbol ('?.' or '?[') should not be separated by a new row, space or comment.
