The latest versions of ReSharper 2018.2 and Rider 2018.2 come with support for C# 7.3. In this series, we are looking at these new language features in C# 7.3. Today we will look at the fixed pattern and simplified access to fixed size buffer elements. This post is part of a series: Declaration expressions in initializers and queries Tuple equality Unmanaged, delegate and enum type constraints Ref local re-assignment Fixed pattern and simplified access to fixed size buffer elements C# updates for stackalloc Fixed statement One of the common themes in C# 7.0 and the followi

In our previous post, we've looked more closely at and how ReSharper 2018.1 and Rider 2018.1 help maintain consistency when using deconstructing declarations and discards. This time, let's check out how ReSharper (and Rider) can assist us with introducing variables, iterating and merging back deconstruction when writing new or updating existing C# code. Introducing variables with deconstruction Introduce variable is arguably the most used refactoring that has ever existed in ReSharper, and which was available since the very first versions. It allows us to create a new variable, initialize it

Deconstruction is a great feature that was introduced with C# 7. A while ago, we showed how ReSharper (and Rider) can help generate deconstructors for us. ReSharper 2018.1 adds even more enhanced support to fully embrace the elegance and power of deconstructions with new code styles, quick-fixes, context actions, better refactoring support and more! In the next two posts, we'll go over these new features. This first post is dedicated to new code styles. The second part will cover everything else. Let's dive in! (more…)

Null checking is a very common task that ReSharper has always been helping to automate. Since the very first versions, ReSharper users had a whole bunch of context actions and quick-fixes at their disposal, such as Check parameter for null, Assert expression is not null and Check variable for null. As we're constantly improving the coding experience, we made a number of changes in previous releases: we extended the Check parameter for null action to check all parameters at once and also added an option to insert null checks when generating a constructor. ReSharper 2017.2 advances null check
