We’re pretty close to launching ReSharper 4.0 EAP and now is the right time to introduce the long-awaited enhancements this major version will provide.
These can be legitimately divided into two simple categories:
- Visual Studio 2008 and C# 3.0 support
- Well… everything beyond that
Support for C# 3.0
ReSharper 3.1 already provides support for the Visual Studio 2008 environment. Version 4.0 completes this support to include the new C# features, among which are implicitly typed variables, anonymous types, object initializers, extension methods, lambda expressions and LINQ. This requires substantial updates in several major components of ReSharper functionality, which will cover:
- Code Analysis;
- Context Actions and Quick-Fixes;
- Code Completion;
- Refactorings (ReSharper 4.0 will introduce Convert to Extension Method, Convert to Automatic Property, and Convert Anonymous Type to Named, among others).
Other Enhancements
- Code Cleanup – a new tool to ensure compliance with code guidelines and enhance code structure;
- Complete Statement – another new feature that will complete language constructs and get you ready to write the next statement;
- External annotations to help cover referenced assemblies while performing null-reference analysis;
- Extended language support as VB.NET gets the full-fledged set of refactorings;
- New quick-fixes and context actions are made available for XAML files.
The wait is almost over – ReSharper 4.0 EAP is planned to open this month! Stay tuned for details.
Great News!
Will there be a minimal upgrade cost option for non corporate developers?
I wasn’t able to afford the last upgrade and never upgraded to 3.0
This is truly great news! I’ll be fasting until it comes out.
Will the No. 1 issue discussed on forum ( memory leak issue) get fixed.
These are great news, I’m missing support for C# 3.0 a lot. Can’t wait to install it.
One thing that is missing is a support for Silverlight code-behind classes. Hope this will be included into R# 4.0 for VS2008
I can’t wait for R# 4.0, please release soon, all of my projects are VS.NET 2008 and I am missing the R# Feature Set!!!
I’ve been using extension methods since September, and I would sell my soul to the evil empire to get a version of Resharper that finally stops flagging all uses of extension methods as errors! Next time, please consider supporting the most tempting/simpler new features in an “EEAP”!
I am counting down the days!
hope performance can be improved…
Hi,
I am very happy for this new release. R# is truly a *wonderful* tool. I deeply hope you will have fixed some memory leak issues you had previously (500M of VM at the end of the day). I will be happy to test for this if possible.
Yuval: I guess you can upgrade to 3.1 for 119USD with subsequent free upgrade to 4.0 (http://www.jetbrains.com/resharper/buy/#upgradeuser)
Hello,
When will the beta/ EAP for version 4 be available?
We are waiting in anticipation, any ideas on when this will be available?
Some feed back as to when EAP 4 be available. Lack of information is not helping!!!
It makes no sense to combine a superb product with mediocre marketing.
I really wish Ilya was working for ScottGu!
Every day I check the EAP page. Every day. It’s January 31st. I check again.
Still not Christmas.
When we can use the version4.0?
They still have a date of January 2008 posted on the web.

Roll on the release of V4, I’m working in VS.NET08 (v3.1)and the memory leaks and impact on performance are shocking. As I only bought the product a few months ago will I be eligible for a free upgrade to a version that works?
Great tool but performance is a killer. Need to restart VS08 every 2 or 3 hours. Please address this.
