The new Rider 2022.2 EAP build brings some useful enhancements for Unreal Engine developers. We previously told you about Symbol Servers and a new action for creating a new module. This time we want to introduce another action that will hopefully help you develop your Unreal Engine games entities more easily – the ability to create a new Unreal plugin in Rider. DOWNLOAD RIDER EAP Create a new Unreal plugin in Rider If you’ve ever tried creating plugins in Unreal Editor via the New Unreal Plugin button in the Editor's Plugin Browser, this new action in Rider will look quite familiar to you. In

The new Rider 2022.2 EAP build brings some useful enhancements for Unreal Engine developers. If you’ve never used Rider for Unreal Engine projects, give it a try and experience first-class support for the Unreal Engine reflection mechanism, integration with Blueprints, and other benefits available on Windows, Linux, and macOS. Learn more on our website. With the EAP, you can evaluate new features and enhancements for free and share your feedback with us. Please use the Rider issue tracker to report bugs and suggest new features. DOWNLOAD RIDER 2022.2 EAP Symbol server when debugging on Windo

Hello everyone, We’re launching the Rider 2021.2 Early Access Program! We’ve published the first EAP build today, so let’s have a look at what's inside. In case you missed that, starting with the 2021.2 EAP builds of our .NET productivity tools, including Rider (on Windows), we will require .NET Framework 4.7.2 or newer installed on your machine. Learn more here. Code Analysis Do you still use temporary variables to swap variable values? There is a more elegant way! Rider 2021.2 EAP will help you modernize your code with the new Swap via deconstruction quick-fix! There a

Hello everyone, We’ve just started the Early Access Program for the ReSharper 2021.2 release cycle! Let’s look at what the first EAP build has in store. In case you missed that, starting with the 2021.2 EAP builds of our .NET productivity tools, including ReSharper, we will require .NET Framework 4.7.2 or newer installed on your machine.

ReSharper 2021.2 EAP will help you modernize your code with the new Swap via deconstruction quick-fix! There are tw

In the Rider 2021.1 Early Access Program (EAP) builds, we’re bringing you.... Scaffolding! Scaffolding makes development using ASP.NET MVC, ASP.NET Web API, or Razor Pages faster and more smooth. Let’s take a look at how the new scaffolding feature in Rider helps you create MVC Controllers, Razor pages, Entity Framework "CRUD", and pages and views for Identity. ASP.NET MVC Scaffolding ASP.NET MVC is a convention and pattern based framework. So tools such as scaffolding use those patterns and conventions to allow you to create controllers and views for your project. Areas in ASP.NET

The modern development stack continues to evolve, bringing along with it incredible conveniences for developers. Arguably, one of the most significant advancements has been the ability to containerize applications. The ability to define, develop, and deploy applications within a reproducible environment gives developers more confidence to deliver a quality application experience for users. Docker has been at the forefront of the container revolution, helping developers adopt the new skill into their workflow. Containers are a great tool, regardless of the approach: whether we're creating tradi

In the latest Rider 2021.1 Early Access Preview (EAP), we're helping .NET developers have the best development experience in building Windows-native applications. We've improved the XAML Preview tool, an essential feedback mechanism for WPF and XAML developers. Introduced in Rider 2018.1, the XAML preview tool window for WPF (on Windows) allows developers to preview the results of their XAML changes directly in Rider. And it just got better! (more…)

Hello everyone and welcome to the 2021 Early Access program! Here’s an update on how we’re progressing with our roadmap plans. Debugger Rider now has interactive debugger hints! Starting with 2020.1 EAP, hints in the editor not only show you what’s going on, but also allow you to intervene in the process. Click on the hint and invoke Set Value to enter interactive mode. You can input raw data or use other values with the help of autocompletion. Shortcuts are provided, as well. You can enable debugger hints with the “Show values inline” setting in Settings | Build, Execution, Deployment | Deb

Hello everyone, Let the 2021.1 EAP begin! We’ve just published ReSharper 2021.1 EAP1, let's see what’s inside. ReSharper Code Analysis There’s a new inspection that checks whether an auto-property can be replaced with a computed property, along with a quick-fix to make the replacement. ReSharper now suggests using the range operator instead of Slice and Substring when doing so simplifies your code. Navigation You now have a new navigation action – Navigate to Windows Explorer. You’ll find it in Navigate | Navigate to menu or by pressing Ctrl+Shift+A and typing its name. This can

One of the most exciting features in .NET 5 and C# 9 are source generators. They enable us to hook into the compilation pipeline that is executed for our projects, analyze source files that are to be compiled, and provide additional source code for our final assembly. In other words, we can take advantage of compile-time metaprogramming! Are you performing expensive reflection operations? Do you need to write a lot of boilerplate code like route mappings or builder methods? Source generators can make our lives a lot easier with these and many more scenarios that are yet to be discovered! Made

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

We've just released the Azure Toolkit for Rider 2020.2, and want to share what's new. On the feature side, you can now work with the Azurite storage emulator from within Rider. If you're developing Azure Functions, we've added code completion for timer triggers, and now auto-detect the core tools if you already have them installed. Log streaming for web- and function apps has been added, so you can see what is going on in your application from within Rider. We have also been working on our plugin infrastructure, and fixed a number of bugs. Let's have a look! Azurite storage emulator If you are
