While writing code, pasting snippet from other sources we may ended up some additional spaces after end of the line or middle of the line. Sometime we added few extra spaces added due mistakenly holding the space bar for long. Of course you may not want them to be there. Most of the time, I have seen developers ended up by pressing backspace to get rid of them. Well, you can directly remove all the extra white spaces after end of each line from the code. This is another overlooked feature in Visual Studio and often missed by the developer.
Well, place the cursor into the line from where you want to clean it up and then navigate to Edit -> Advanced -> Delete Horizontal White Space or press Ctrl + E , \ . That will automatically remove the additional spaces from your code.
As this is really an overlooked feature and we ended up pressing backspace to clean this.

Now, if you keep your cursor at the end of the line and press “Ctrl+E,\”. You will find all the additional spaces has been removed.

As I said earlier, this also works well, when the spaces are in the middle of you code elements.
Hope this small trick helps !
