Hello everyone, Please welcome ReSharper 2020.3 EAP1. It’s only the beginning of the release cycle, but we’ve already got something to show you! ReSharper With C# 9 on the way, we’re doing a lot to support the latest language standard. For top-level statements, ReSharper not only provides some basics, like code completion and code analysis, but also offers a couple of handy quick-fixes and refactorings. When copy-pasting pieces of code, we often don't care about placement. However, C# 9 requires top-level statements to precede any type or namespace declarations. Fortunately, ReSharper

Hello everyone, Welcome to the early access program of our third release of the year, Rider 2020.3. The highlights of the first EAP build include more advanced C# 9 support, new debugger features, and UX improvements. Let’s look into the details. UX improvements The most obvious update is the redesigned Welcome screen. More is less: we’ve tried to make the first window you see in Rider as neat and uncluttered as possible. It offers only the most common operations. A long-awaited improvement has made it into the code editor: now you can split the editor by dragging and dropping

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

As you may know, our .NET and Visual Studio tools got a massive 2020.2 update just a few weeks ago – the ReSharper .NET tools, ReSharper C++ and Rider blogs have more details. Now our sights are set on the 2020.3 release due out at the end of this year. But before we get back to work on that, we have one more important thing to say. We are deeply grateful to all participants of our 2020.2 Early Access Program. You helped us identify countless issues, usability glitches, and missing features. Thank you so much! We’d like to share our special thanks with these fine folks who have been the most a

Getting started with Rider for Unreal Engine is quick and easy. This video will take you through the initial steps, getting the app installed once you’ve registered and installed, and setting Rider as the default source code editor for Unreal.

Hello everyone, We’re excited to introduce the first EAP build of ReSharper Ultimate 2020.2! Here’s what we have in store for you. (more…)

Hi all, Today we are launching the Rider for Unreal Engine Public Preview! This marks another important step toward making Rider a standalone, all-in-one, cross-platform Game Dev IDE! In this post I will describe the tool and how you can try it, but first, let me briefly go through the family of C* tools we have and comment on why Rider is right for developing with the Unreal Engine.

We're always excited to ship Rider test runner updates to our early adopters. Developers running the latest Rider 2020.1 EAP may have noticed some positive changes to the unit testing window and the test runner. Let's walk through some of the more notable enhancements: reworked toolbars that make working with sessions and individual tests easier, a grouping of various test statuses that help spot which tests need some more attention, and various other updates. Here we go! (more…)

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). The thread name is now

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! Since everybody seems interested in performance, let’s start with the performance news. There were tons of changes in the ReSharper architecture that bring us closer and closer to running all the core ReSharper features out of the Visual Studio process. All these modifications took place under the hood, so you won’t notice any changes in the UI/UX. If you missed the ReSharper 2020 Roadmap with news about our progress on moving ReSharper out of process, now is a

In the latest ReSharper 2019.3 Early Access Preview (EAP), we have added a new Localization Manager to assist you in localizing applications. It lets you view and edit localizable resources in a single grid, helping you add/edit/rename localizable strings and spot missing localized values. More than enough for a blog post, so let's dive in! (more…)

In the latest Rider 2019.3 Early Access Preview (EAP) build, we've started experimenting with user interface and experience improvements when working with version control systems (VCS) like Git: New and improved Commit tool window Renamed the version control tool window to Repository An in-editor diff preview (shelved changes are also previewed in the editor) Let's have a closer look!  (more…)

Hello everyone, October seems like a good time to launch the Early Access Program for our third release of the year, so please welcome ReSharper Ultimate 2019.3 EAP. In the list below, I highlight several new features and improvements of the ReSharper 2019.3 EAP: Improved C# 8 support including notnull constraint, the target-typed switch expressions, early support for default interface methods, a new hint "Local function can be static", and a new quick-fix "Add missing arms". New Type Name Hints are available for lambda’s parameters, all var occurrences incl

We introduced Windows Forms support in Rider 2019.1, and have been working hard on improvements. While Microsoft provides a standard set of controls with Windows Forms, many development teams make use of third-party control libraries, such as those by Telerik, DevExpress, Syncfusion, ComponentOne or Infragistics. The latest Rider 2019.2 Early Access Preview (EAP) adds better support for third-party controls! (more…)

The latest Rider 2019.2 Early Access Preview (EAP) brings a bunch of updates to the built-in NuGet client! We now display a package's readme.txt to help determine next steps after installing a package. XDT transformations are run, automatically adding/removing entries from configuration files when required by the package. Rider supports native cross-platform credential providers, such as the one available for Azure DevOps/Artifacts, for accessing private feeds. We have made several updates to upgrading multiple packages in multiple projects, making package upgrades easier. That wa

Probably the most fundamental technique in software development is Changing Stuff and Seeing What Happens. Rider 2019.1 EAP brings new features and several fixes for its powerful debugger, including edit-and-continue functionality and just-in-time debugging. Edit & Continue One of the highest voted feature requests for the debugger is finally here! Edit & Continue is now supported for projects targeting .NET Framework and .NET Core on Windows (except WPF). That means we can keep our application running, change the code, and continue debugging without actually restarting. The project wi

With the new Rider 2019.1 EAP builds, we bring more goodies to the editor that help us navigating and understanding our code much faster. This includes the popular breadcrumbs navigation, structural navigation originally introduced with ReSharper, revised summary and parameter info tooltips as well as some fixes for Alt-Enter menu, which is all too precious. Let's see... (more…)

In the latest Rider 2019.1 Early Access Preview (EAP) builds, we made a number of improvements to unit testing – in the overall performance as well as the UI/UX experience. For example, it's now possible to run tests from Find Usages, making it easy to find tests that use a certain type or method we want to verify. Rider can now track running tests, automatically showing details for the test that is running. Next to these, a number of UI/UX improvements were made. Additional grouping rules have been added, including grouping by namespace or by category. The test tree and output pane are
