In the latest Rider 2020.3 Early Access Preview (EAP) builds, we're bringing in Project Dependency Diagrams from ReSharper! With project dependency diagrams you can visualize project dependencies in your solution, and explore its architecture. In this post, we'll have a look at what project dependency diagrams look like, what information they show, and how we can use them to analyze project coupling in a solution. Hello, project dependency diagrams! You can open the project dependency diagram from the context menu in solution explorer, or by using the Tools | Architecture | Show Project Diagra

The recording of our webinar, Blazor - C# in the Browser, with Brian Jablonsky, is now available. Subscribe to our community newsletter to receive notifications about future webinars. Ever dream about being able to write your web frontend code in C#? Blazor might be your answer! It lets you write your frontend code using C# and Razor. In this session, we'll take a look at what Blazor is, how Blazor works, the difference between Blazor hosting models and how it relates to WebAssembly, and build a Blazor web app using Rider. (more…)

How's it going, fellow Blazorinos? Here at JetBrains, we've been diving face-first into Blazor, improving the development experience for Blazor lovers. For those unfamiliar with Blazor, but still familiar with front-end web development, you can think of Blazor as a front-end framework similar to VueJs or React. Blazor allows developers to build interactive user interfaces (UI) using C#, Razor, and SignalR. Introduced in ASP.NET Core 3, the architecture of Blazor leverages shareable C# code, which can run on the server and client. Developers can also expect to ship self-contained, fully running

Join us Tuesday, November 17, 2020, 16:00 - 17:00 CET (10:00 AM - 11:00 AM EST or check other timezones) for our free live webinar, .NET Microservices == MEGAFUN, with LaBrina Loving. Register now and get a reminder, or join on YouTube In this session, I will provide an overview of getting started with building and deploying Microservices. We'll explore using services like Dapr and Project Tye to help build your microservices and look at how to deploy to Azure. (more…)

How often do you reach for a profiler? Only when things go wrong, right? All too often, we use profilers only as a last resort, even though dotTrace and dotMemory are both pleasant to work with. What if we told you that Dynamic Program Analysis (DPA) in ReSharper automatically analyzes the memory usage of your applications and helps catch difficult-to-diagnose memory allocation issues before we deploy them to production. Because we all know an unhappy user is an unhappier developer, let's see how DPA can keep us happy! What is DPA? A simple description would be "it's a kind of memory profiling

A valuable part of the debugging experience is experimentation, modifying variables and determining whether the outcomes were what we expected. With the latest release of Rider 2020.3 EAP, we're happy to give developers more tools that make debugging more effective. As you may have guessed from the title of this post, the Immediate Window is shipping in Rider 2020.3 EAP. What is the Immediate Window? The immediate window offers a way to access the code of our application while it is being executed. While debugging, we can write additional code that can add to or alter the current code executio

The recording of our webinar, Service Creation via .NET Core Templates, with Olga Nelioubov, is now available. Subscribe to our community newsletter to receive notifications about future webinars. Custom .NET templates are a fantastic way to bootstrap your .NET services, however they're not only limited to the .NET world – their usefulness could extend to templating out pipelines, applications in other languages, configuration files, or anything else that can be opened with a text editor. Furthermore, they are extremely simple to set up and can be easily packaged and distributed to others for

In ReSharper, you can use Ctrl+T to Search Everywhere. And with everywhere, we do mean everywhere! Did you know ReSharper also indexes and searches in textual content? I'll use the Carter framework as an example solution in this blog post. When searching for DocumentTitle, you can see that ReSharper finds relevant symbols (2 properties in this case), and also textual occurrences in appsettings.json and throughout the codebase. Go to Text helps you navigate to text in source and textual files easier and faster than using Visual Studio's built-in Find in Files. Let's look at it in more detail.

With the upcoming release of C# 9, we're all getting some new tools for our development toolboxes. One of the most exciting features .NET 5 is delivering to developers is top-level statements. In this post, we'll explore what top-level statements are, who they're useful for, the rules of top-level statement apps, and taking a peek at intermediate language (IL) generation. Gather round the virtual campfire 🏕, and let's explore this topic together. (more…)

UML, or Unified Modeling Language, is, as the name implies, a modeling language that allows you to visualize systems. In this post, we’ll look at how PlantUML enables you to create various kinds of diagrams so that you can properly document your software. We’ll create two of the most popular UML diagram types: Class and Use Case diagrams, to demonstrate what you can do with the PlantUML plugin in Rider. (more…)

Hello everyone, Today we’ve published small bugfix updates to ReSharper and Rider. Here are the issues that we’ve addressed. Rider Fixed launching iOS apps on Xcode 12 simulators (RIDER-50673). ReSharper Fixed restoring unit test sessions with continuous testing: they now persist through solution reopening (RSRP-481297). dotTrace Fixed the ‘ETW collector internal error’ in Timeline profiling (DTRC-26888). You can download Rider 2020.2.4 and ReSharper 2020.2.4 from our website or update either of them by using the Toolbox App. You can also update Rider as a snap if you are using a compati
