For decades, developers have had heated debates about tabs and spaces in their source code. The topic became so widespread that it made it into an episode of “Silicon Valley”. In this blog post, we will introduce you to ReSharper's Virtual Formatter, that helps you settle this particular infamous argument and even a couple more issues beyond accessibility and “the void’. What was it about again?

Today, we're celebrating the 5th birthday of our cross-platform .NET IDE: JetBrains Rider! We initially revealed “project Rider” at NDC London in January 2016. We started with a private preview for a select number of people who were just as excited as we were about the concept of a cross-platform .NET IDE that builds on IntelliJ IDEA and ReSharper (which turned 18 a couple of weeks ago, congratulations!) "To say I was nervous was an understatement. I had no idea how the product would be received. It's wonderful to see that 5 years later, it has become the success it has!"— Hadi Harir

Working on new, large codebases can be quite daunting. You aren’t familiar with the structure, naming conventions, or a teammate’s quirky style that made it past code reviews. Fortunately, Rider contains many navigational features that you can use to help you get up to speed in new codebases quickly or move about familiar codebases more smoothly. In this post, we’ll look at common ways to navigate codebases using Rider’s navigational features. Folks familiar with a codebase can tell you that getting around it as efficiently as possible is important for productivity. Good navigational tools
