1) Create a new .net console app in VS2017

2) Add a basic .editorconfig to the root of the solution:

top-most EditorConfig file

oot = true

Don't use tabs for indentation.

*] indent_style = space # (Please don't specify an indent_size here; that has too many unintended consequences.)

Code files

*.{cs,csx,vb,vbx}] indent_size = 4

Xml project files

*.{csproj,vbproj,vcxproj,vcxproj.filters,proj,projitems,shproj}] indent_size = 2

Xml config files

*.{props,targets,ruleset,config,nuspec,resx,vsixmanifest,vsct}] indent_size = 2

JSON files

*.json] indent_size = 2

Dotnet code style settings:

*.{cs,vb}]

Avoid "this." and "Me." if not necessary

otnet_style_qualification_for_field = false:error dotnet_style_qualification_for_property = false:error dotnet_style_qualification_for_method = false:error dotnet_style_qualification_for_event = false:error

3) Add a new class that break the 'this' rule:

public class Dog { public string Name { get; set; }

     public Dog(string name)
     {
         this.Name = name;
     }
 }

4) The error shows up in the 'error list' view, but when you compile the build succeeds, even though there is now an error.
