JetBrains Rider 2017.2 is released

Posted on October 12, 2017 by Jura Gorohovsky

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

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.

One of the biggest reasons for staying with VS is the support for TFS.
The jetbrains plugin works fine for most actions, but completely messes up branching.
I submitted an issue a while back: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/RIDER-9878 and I’m not sure if it was the right place to submit it.

  You can use https://github.com/git-tfs/git-tfs and git integration instead. It’s not a perfect solution because you need to do checkins and branches from command line (git tfs rcheckin and git tfs branch respectively) but it works well. At least for me

    Or you know… get the heck off TFS.
    
    Microsoft itself has strategically deprecated it in favour of Git. TFS has no future, so the faster you can get your organization to step away from it the better for everyone involved will be.

Debugging Unity Players over network and USB with Rider 2020.2

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

Generate Reference Assemblies With Refasmer

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
