Why does VS add a blank line at the end of each new file I create? I use VS to create .NET projects (not C++ or something).
Is there any special reason? Historical compatibility with compilers and parsers?
Can I disable this??
It is recommended to have a blank line at the end of each file for navigability purposes. Think what happens if someone opens your code with vim for example and uses a keymap to jump from empty line to empty line. Or, if he decides to add another portion of code at the end of file he can quickly do a GO and enter it instead of having to scroll until the end of file.
Also, source control tools will report more changes if you don't have a trailing blank line when you try to insert code at the end of file.
