Line terminators divide the characters of a C# source file into lines.

new-line

Carriage return character (U+000D)

Line feed character (U+000A)

Carriage return character (U+000D) followed by line feed character (U+000A)

Line separator character (U+2028)

Paragraph separator character (U+2029)

For compatibility with source code editing tools that add end-of-file markers, and to enable a source file to be viewed as a sequence of properly terminated lines, the following transformations are applied, in order, to every source file in a C# program:

• If the last character of the source file is a Control-Z character (U+001A), this character is deleted.
• A carriage-return character (U+000D) is added to the end of the source file if that source file is non-empty and if the last character of the source file is not a carriage return (U+000D), a line feed (U+000A), a line separator (U+2028), or a paragraph separator (U+2029).
