In the project I am working on, I am tasked with forcing line character width to 140 characters for a line of code in the visual studio editor. Unfortunately, to my research, any roslyn based analyzer does not support this feature. Can you please lead me a way to achieve this, it could be writing custom rules or what?

There's a long standing [open issue](https://github.com/dotnet/format/issues/246) about supporting EditorConfig's `max_line_length`/`rulers` in `dotnet format` – fuglede Jul 07 '22 at 10:04

You could add the Editor Guidelines extension into Visual Studio:

I find it helpful to visually limit the length of lines of code, but it's not an automatic enforcement.
