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

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

We're happy to introduce you to the .NET Guide – a central place for tutorials, tips & tricks for .NET and the JetBrains .NET tools! All tips and tutorials are organized by product, technology, and topic. Tips & tricks show you how ReSharper and Rider can help you write better code, faster. Tutorials come with a screencast and extra written content, and are excellent for learning the basics and exploring additional resources. Tutorials range from an overview of .NET and ASP.NET Core, to profiling applications. Some tutorials that are already available: Getting Started With A

Rider 2020.1.4 and ReSharper Ultimate 2020.1.4 are ready for you to download. ReSharper Ultimate 2020.1.4 ReSharper 2020.1.4 comes with better support for one more C# 8 language feature: the ability to mark property accessors separately with the Obsolete and Deprecated attributes (RSRP-477579). Rider 2020.1.4 Rider 2020.1.4 has a couple of fixes in addition to the C# 8 update from ReSharper: No more indefinite "waiting for intention actions..." message after calling the Alt+Enter menu (RIDER-44548). Rider can successfully connect to MS SQL Server (DBE-10839). You’ll find Re

Wondering how to build a Xamarin mobile application with Rider? In this blog post, our friends from Syncfusion explain how to do it using Syncfusion Xamarin Components. JetBrains Rider is a cross-platform IDE for consistent application development. Cross-platform is what most mobile developers are, targeting Android and iOS. Syncfusion Xamarin components include over 145 essential controls, like DataGrid, Charts, and ListView, for building powerful line-of-business Xamarin applications. In this post we’ll be using JetBrains Rider along with Syncfusion Xamarin components to develop a m
