Early Access Program

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 chang

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

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

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 n

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 Wind

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 ca

Hello friends, or should we say こんにちは (Kon'nichiwa)? We have some excellent news for our multilingual Rider developers. Localization Manager, which previously appeared in ReSharper, is now available to all Rider users. We can build multi-cultural .NET applications, with the localizable resources using the new feature. To get started with the Localization Manager, we first need to add a resource fi

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: Inspect

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
