Hi everyone, We’ve just published a bugfix update for ReSharper tools and for Rider. Let’s review the highlights in this release. ReSharper We’ve fixed the false positive warning in NRT analysis caused by explicitly switching to pessimistic mode (RSRP-484105).We’ve fixed the issue that caused generated files to be rendered empty in some cases (RSRP-484550). ReSharper C++ ReSharper C

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…)

When editing code in the latest builds of ReSharper 2018.3 EAP and Rider 2018.3 EAP,  the inline parameter hints for C# and VB.NET are something you will notice immediately. Let's see how this new feature makes code more readable, and how we can configure it. What are inline parameter hints? When using a literal in a method call, ReSharper and Rider will annotate those with the name of the param

While debugging, we often have to work with lots of information. We have the autos, locals and watches tool window to look at, code in our editor, ... This overdose of information and switching between looking at code and at tool windows often messes with the mental context of the debugging session in our brains. No more! With ReSharper 2017.3 EAP, we are proud to bring one of Rider's features

Rider 2017.2 EAP builds come with a series of new features and improvements around F#, such as code folding, commenting with block comment, debugger expression evaluation on hover, support for XML docs in tooltips and more! Many visible improvements were made, as well as "invisible" ones. For example, we've updated performance of parsing and working with the F# FCS - an optimization we are cont

We've all been there. Investigating a bug, making some code changes, then finding that these changes don't fix the bug. Rinse, repeat, and two hours later we realize that first attempt needed just a little tweak. How can we roll back to it if we did not commit it to Git or Mercurial? How can we roll back any change we made to the code base between source control commits? Undo only goes so far...

Usually, coding and review tasks are logged in an issue tracker like YouTrack, JIRA or Visual Studio Team Services, all systems that can be connected to from within JetBrains Rider. But what with those typical TODO comments? Do they go into the issue tracker? Or should we simply annotate our code with short comments?  Instead of starting a religious discussion, let's look at how we can work

A new Rider EAP build is available for download! In this Rider EAP 21, we've fixed a number of bugs, bundled the TFS plugin to make working with TFS and VSTS easier, added detection of existing file indents for editing, added highlighting in XML doc comments, improved options pages for inspections and the NuGet client, and... added F# language support! Let's go over what's new and what this

Just like ReSharper, Rider supports language injections. In almost every project there are cases where we want to (or have to) embed a piece of code in a string literal. For example, pieces of HTML inside a JavaScript string, or a quick JSON fragment inside a C# string. Let's see how they work. Note: In this blog post, we'll look at some of the basics of language injections. They work similar i
