Code Syntax Style: Empty string
In C#, you can assign empty strings either with an empty literal "" or with the string.Empty property. ReSharper allows you to specify the style for empty strings and enforce this style in the desired scope.
ReSharper helps you apply empty string style in the existing code and takes your preferences into account when it produces new code with code completion and performs refactorings.
Apply style preferences for empty strings
By default, ReSharper suggests using empty literals "" and reports usages of the string.Empty property — it highlights such usages and suggests the corresponding quick-fix.
If you prefer the string.Empty property, you can configure the preferences correspondingly and ReSharper will help you enforce your preferences:
Configure preferences for empty strings
You can configure syntax style settings via EditorConfig. These settings can be stored in .editorconfig files on different levels of your solution hierarchy. The files are normally put under VCS so that settings defined there are shared among the project team.
If you have used ReSharper for Visual Studio or JetBrains Rider on your computer, or have opened the current solution using these tools, ReSharper for Visual Studio Code will read and apply your syntax style settings from .DotSettings files. However, any settings configured via .editorconfig will take precedence.
Configure preferences for empty string style using EditorConfig
Open the desired .editorconfig file.
Add the required empty string style properties to the file. For example:
resharper_empty_string = string_empty
