Rider 2020.2 is now available! To mark this great news we’ve put together a full list of the new features and under the hood improvements that are in store for you. Let’s dive in! Download Rider 2020.2 Debugger The new release brings significant changes to the debugger API. They allow us to perform super-lazy value calculations with better interruption and custom value representation. We've also added data breakpoints. Finally, the Pin to Frame feature lets you pin local variables to the frame. Localization Manager We’re proud to introduce a new tool for working with resources. With the Lo

Hello everyone, Today we’re excited to give you ReSharper 2020.2! This major release introduces new inspections and quick-fixes for C# 8, most notably for nullable reference types, a much-awaited Code Cleanup on Save, a revamped Unit Test Runner, and various accessibility improvements. Download ReSharper 2020.2 Since the ReSharper license now covers both ReSharper and ReSharper C++, support for C++/CLI – a bridge between the languages – is getting a lot of updates and improved interoperability between C++/CLI and C#. Read through the major updates of all the JetBrains .NET tools and extension

Rider 2020.2 is a bumper release for Unity. We’ve already seen how “pausepoints” can help you debug your code, by switching the Unity editor into pause mode when your code hits a certain point. Let’s continue looking at how Rider can help with your Unity application. We’ll stick with debugging for now, and in this post we’ll see how you can use Rider to debug your game on mobile devices and consoles such as iPhone, Android, Xbox and PlayStation. We’ll follow up with another post looking at how Rider improves the default display of values while debugging, and then we’ll have a couple more posts

With each passing day, the .NET ecosystem introduces new target environments. In addition to Windows environments, we can now deploy to Linux, macOS, and all popular mobile operating systems. Having these options is excellent, as it allows us to reach a broader audience, but each new environment comes with its own set of challenges. .NET Framework has solved the multiple-environments issue by creating the .NET Standard. The .NET Standard exposes a common API we can compile against with the understanding that our target environments have a context-specific implementation. In this post, we'll se

Summer is here, but at present in 2020 many people can't go anywhere, so a "staycation" will have to do. No problem though, just sit back, relax, and browse the content from our .NET Annotated newsletter. There have been some key historical events that have happened in August. In 1995, Microsoft shipped Windows 95! Windows 95 was the "moment you've all been waiting for". I remember uncovering that Windows 95 Easter Egg with great delight! In 1981, IBM introduced its personal computer, IBM model 5150. When Windows 95 shipped, many folks were using IBM personal computers to r

TypeScript enables you to code using object-oriented principles and techniques, and Rider helps you write TypeScript more efficiently and easily. In this blog post, we’ll look at the object-oriented features provided by the TypeScript language, and how to use Rider to implement them. (more…)

Where and when does a value in our program change? And what's the state of values in each iteration, when debugging recursive functions? Two good questions that Rider 2020.2 EAP helps answer, with Data Breakpoints and Pin-to-Frame! (more…)

We’re often asked how ReSharper and Rider relate to build servers, and how their features can be utilized in CI/CD environments. There are actually quite a few tools bundled in free packages – namely ReSharper.CommandLineTools or dotCover.CommandLineTools – that can help to continuously monitor and improve our codebase. In this post, we will discuss the ReSharper tools, which include: InspectCode – runs code analysis to find and report code issues DupFinder – identifies semantically duplicated code fragments CleanupCode – reformats code to make it consistent Check out our blog po

To simplify the licensing for our .NET and Visual Studio tools, we’ve reduced it to just three simple options: ReSharper subscription, Rider subscription, dotUltimate subscription. The dotUltimate license will cover all paid .NET & Visual Studio tools from JetBrains (ReSharper, ReSharper C++, Rider, dotTrace, dotMemory, and dotCover). We also decreased the price of this all-in-one .NET pack. Holders of active ReSharper Ultimate and ReSharper Ultimate+Rider licenses will be automatically transferred to the new dotUltimate, with all their continuity discounts preserved. Besides, we covered ReSharper and ReSharper C++ with one license.

Join us Tuesday, August 25, 2020, 16:00 - 17:00 CEST (10:00 AM - 11:00 AM EDT or check other timezones) for our free live webinar, REST - the ignored parts, with Irina Scurtu. Register now! In a world dominated by APIs, where everyone seems to implement microservices with so many paradigms and standards to choose from, REST seems to be the default option. Despite that, many of these so-called REST APIs don’t respect the guidelines and become brittle by overlooking some of the most powerful constraints. In this session, we will look over how we can design a REST API that is flexible and ev

Working with NuGet is an important part of every .NET project, and therefore its integration in Rider is one of our top priorities. Previously we introduced productivity boosts like import of missing packages, the NuGet quicklist and auto-display of README files. Now we want to show you some recent additions in the latest Rider 2020.2 EAP release. In this new version, we’ve added a new way to view implicit package references, extended the NuGet package list with a brand new context popup menu to access common operations, implemented a package search history, enhanced the config view with a pro

The recording of our July 9 webinar, How to stop worrying and adopt nullable reference types - Webinar Recording, with Andrey Dyatlov, is now available. Subscribe to our community newsletter to receive notifications about future webinars. Nullable reference types is a deceptively simple feature. While starting with it is as easy as adding a single ? mark to your source code, migrating large code bases has been proven to be a tedious and sometimes quite tricky task especially when complex code contracts and generics are involved. The presentation will quickly cover what benefits this
