Please welcome Rider 2017.2 RTM: this year’s second major update to the new .NET IDE.

JetBrains Rider 2017.2 is released

For a recap, here are the highlights of this Rider update:

  • Support for .NET Core 2.0: you can now edit, run, debug, test, navigate and refactor your shiny new .NET Core applications.
  • Call and value tracking: inspect where a value originates and where it’s passed next, or what call trees a method is part of.
  • MSTest support: Rider can now run unit tests that target both the classic MSTest and the newer cross-platform MSTest V2.
  • Opening individual folders or files, because not all code is in a solution or project. Alternatively, you can attach a folder to an exiting solution.
  • Multiple debugger updates including the Parallel Stacks view, lambda evaluation, and marking variables.
  • New refactorings ported from ReSharper: Transform Parameters and Invert Boolean.
  • Updates from the latest ReSharper, including improved support for C# 7.0, initial support for C# 7.1, and an assortment of code inspections.
  • Evolving F# support, including code folding, XML doc comment tooltips, and evaluating expressions on hover.
  • Unity support improvements, such as new file templates and better ShaderLab code highlighting.
  • Updates from the latest IntelliJ Platform in terms of VCS integration, JavaScript and TypeScript support, and better textual search.

Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) like JetBrains Space, YouTrack, and TeamCity Cloud are built around the concept of multi-tenancy. Many other services you are using every day probably are, too! Instead of spinning up a dedicated server for every customer, these services often share server resources while keeping configuration, data and user accounts for that service separate and isolated. Much like ti

Surprising Ways To Profile Your .NET Applications

Profiling is an essential yet under-utilized aspect of building applications. We've all been there. In times of mounting pressure, we're more focused on shipping features and hoping we didn't add perceivable performance or memory issues to our app. If you're not familiar with dotTrace or dotMemory, now's a great time to learn more about them! In this post, we'll look at several ways to intr
