How-To's

ReSharper 7.1.3 is Available for Visual Studio 2012 Update 2

Have you upgraded Visual Studio 2012 to Update 2 RTM? If you have, please download ReSharper 7.1.3, which is mostly about compatibility with this new Visual Studio update.

Specifically, ReSharper can now successfully run MSTest fixtures in VS2012 Update 2 (this was the most important problem that has prevented usage of ReSharper 7.1.2 with VS2012 Update 2); adds support for Windows Phone 8 unit test projects; and becomes compatible with the final release of LightSwitch HTML Client as part of VS2012 Update 2.

To make things clearer, here are some easy rules specifying whether you need ReSharper 7.1.3 depending on the version of Visual Studio that you’re using:

  • Visual Studio 2005, 2008, or 2010: you don’t need ReSharper 7.1.3, skipping this update is a safe bet.
  • Visual Studio 2012 prior to Update 2: you should NOT install ReSharper 7.1.3 if you’re using MSTest.
  • Visual Studio 2012 Update 2: ReSharper 7.1.3 is primarily for you, so go ahead and download it.
