Full-Featured VB.NET Support and Other Goodies Available in ReSharper 3.0 Beta

Just last week we released ReSharper 3.0 Beta, offering many new features & language (and cross-language) support.
The newest version expands its versatile support of languages and technologies, providing improved functionality for C#, VB.NET, ASP.NET, XML, XAML, build script editing and integrated unit testing. For detailed descriptions of the major new features, see http://www.jetbrains.com/resharper/features/newfeatures.html?rs3bblog.

  • Full-Featured Visual Basic .NET Support
    With the newest version, developers get a full coverage of VB.NET, with multiple features complementing and extending those provided by Microsoft Visual Studio.
  • Cross-Language Functionality Between C# and VB
    ReSharper also brings cross-language functionality between Visual Basic and C#, unparalleled in today’s market of .NET development tools.
  • Unique Code Analysis for C#
    Unique code analysis, available for C# code, is another major step forward for ReSharper. Now, in addition to detecting errors and warnings on the fly, ReSharper produces code suggestions – insights into your code that offer clever analysis and observations for various situations.
  • XML and XAML Support
    ReSharper 3.0 brings much-awaited XML and XAML support. XML features include type completion, various navigation between tags, navigation to referenced types, basic code assistance, and live templates support. XAML features include XML editing in XAML code, all three types of ReSharper’s code completion, several refactorings, and on-the-fly error, syntax and semantic analysis.
  • Many Productivity Enhancers
    The new productivity-enhancing features include “Go to Symbol” navigation, Unit Test Explorer (a totally reworked Unit Test Runner), a smart To-do list, and others.

We also want to let you know that version 3.0 will be released in three editions, two of which will exclude either C# or VB.NET functionality and cost a fraction of the full price. One of these editions may be right for you – and more affordable – if you work on single-language projects only.

As always, Develop with Pleasure!
