如何从 Visual Studio 2022 中的命名空间中删除花括号

Question

I would like to know how I can remove the braces from a namespace and have it be closed with a semicolon (;).

actually:

namespace ProductsGroup{
  public void save{
  }
}

I need:

namespace ProductsGroup;
  public void save{
  }

Thanks you!

Unless you are compiling against C# 10 with file-scoped namespaces , you can't do this. (Bold added)

A namespace_declaration consists of the keyword namespace , followed by a namespace name and body , optionally followed by a semicolon

A body requires curly braces.

Visual-Studio 2022 already offers this refactoring (and the reverse).

Additionally you can set a preference in Visual Studio's C# Code Style settings, and in .editorconfig .
