For the first 2020.1 EAP build, we didn’t set our sights on implementing any new big features or changing the world. Instead, we put a lot of effort into polishing and jazzing up the tons of existing features to make them better and more user-friendly for you. Debugger engine Now you can detach from a process initially started under the debugger without terminating the app. Smart Step Into is enabled by default for the Step Into action (Preferences/Settings | Build, Execution, Deployment | Debugger | Stepping | .NET Languages | Always do Smart Step Into).

Just an hour ago, we published our first EAP build for ReSharper Ultimate 2020.1. Jump in and preview what’s coming in 2020.1!

With Rider, we can create and work with Xamarin projects to develop applications targeting Android and/or iOS devices. We can write code and make use of code analysis, coding assistance, refactoring and debugging features, built-in tools like Version Control and the NuGet client, and deploy and debug our apps on emulated or real devices. In this blog post, we want to provide an overview of how to get started and what tooling is available. And while we'll be targeting Android, keep in mind that targeting iOS is very similar. (more…)

HTML and JavaScript are the most popular programming languages today powering the internet. Whether desktop or mobile, a front-end is almost always required, and HTML and JavaScript are the only game in town for front-end web development. ASP.NET developers need to write HTML and JavaScript as part of their daily tasks. Because Rider is built with the WebStorm engine, you can quickly create robust web front-ends for any back-end. In this post, we’ll take a look at the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript related features that Rider has for building awesome front-ends. (more…)
