databinding.editorconfig 2024.1.18.2

EditorConfig Item Template

The editorconfig is used to set code rules for projects in Visual Studio or VS Code. Rules are defined how the source code should look like, so that they support the developer.

These rules are used by databinding by default.

The template for the .editorconfig file is downloaded over NuGet.org.
