TypeName	ChainedStatementBlocksMustNotBePrecededByBlankLine
CheckId	SA1510
Category	Layout Rules

Cause

Chained C# statements are separated by a blank line.

Rule Description

To improve the readability of the code, StyleCop requires blank lines in certain situations, and prohibits blank lines in other situations. This results in a consistent visual pattern across the code, which can improve recognition and readability of unfamiliar code.

Some types of C# statements can only be used when chained to the bottom of another statement. Examples include catch and finally statements, which must always be chained to the bottom of a try-statement. Another example is an else-statement, which must always be chained to the bottom of an if-statement, or to another else-statement. These types of chained statements must not be separated by a blank line. For example:

try

{

this.SomeMethod();

}

catch (Exception ex)

{

Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString());

}

How to Fix Violations

To fix a violation of this rule, remove any blank lines between the chained statements.
