Are you going to AWS re:Invent in Las Vegas on December 2–6? We are, and we’d love to meet up with you there! AWS re:Invent is just around the corner, and our team is excited to be there again this year. If you have a minute, stop by our booth and ask any questions you may have about Rider or our other JetBrains products. We’d love to give you a live demo on the integration between AWS and our IDEs, share a couple of useful tips with you, and of course dish out some swag! Located to the left of the main entrance, the JetBrains booth #1505 is easily discoverable in the Venetian Expo Center.

Every now and then, we need to find out where a value is coming from or where it is going to. Luckily, ReSharper has built-in value tracking for quite some time already and allows us to inspect value origin and inspect value destination. In the latest ReSharper 2018.1 EAP build, we are adding support for ref-returning methods, pattern matching and out-variable declarations. Value tracking in action Inspecting value origins and destinations can be handy in a range of situations, for instance when checking for null-reference exceptions (NRE) or other unexpected behavior. Often, debugging is us

Today, we continue our blog series on ReSharper support for C# 7.0 and C# 7.1. The previous post touched on throw expressions (spec) and ReSharper's inspections, quick-fixes and context actions around these language features. Today, let's talk about expression-bodied methods, properties, local functions, constructors, destructors and event accessors. Or in short: expression-bodied “everything”! In this series: Out variables Throw expressions Expression-bodied "everything" Async main Default literal Tuples (more…)

Let's continue our blog series about ReSharper support for C# 7.0 and C# 7.1! We've already blogged about how ReSharper (and Rider) handle out variables, today we'll look at throw expressions (spec) that are available in C# 7.0. Throw expressions allow us to throw exceptions from almost any expression, making our code more concise and readable. ReSharper adds inspections, quick-fixes and context actions around these language features. In this series: Out variables Throw expressions Expression-bodied "everything" Async main Default literal Tuples (more…)

When developing Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), Silverlight and Windows Store applications, a number of common memory leaks may surface. In this blog post, we’ll see how dotMemory can help detect these common WPF memory leaks and how we can fix them. Here are the leaks we will discuss in this post: Binding leak Collection binding leak Textbox undo leak Event Handler leak x:Name leak Binding leak WPF comes with a number of data binding patterns, which, if we break them, can cause memory leaks in our applications. Take the following class: When we bind to an inst

On the 5th May, in collaboration with our partners Pluralsight, we will be doing a webcast on Agile environments: - What exactly is an Agile environment - Best practices for setting up environments with TeamCity, YouTrack and an OSS stack This webcast is completely free and open to all. Please check out Pluralsight’s website for more information and registration information.

We’ve only just come back from Mix 11 and are already preparing things for the next great .NET events taking place in Europe: TechDays Belgium and DevDays The Netherlands. With over 3.000 delegates registered, it’s cut out to be a blast. JetBrains will be at both events, which slightly overlap. We will be giving away our Dead Code T-Shirts as well as some other surprise swag we have to give away. Please make sure you stop by our booths to chat. I’ll be doing a session at each event, a Deep Dive into MVC 3 at TechDays Belgium and Real World Architectures with MVC at DevDays in The Netherl

On Tuesday, 5th April 2011, I'll be giving a webinar (in Spanish) on how to setup an environment with TeamCity, YouTrack and your favorite OSS tools and frameworks. Things we'll see: TeamCity: Overview and benefits YouTrack: Mouseless Web Issue Tracking Introduction to Distributed Version Control Systems and benefits over Centralized Creating Continuous Integration Processes with TeamCity and OSS stacks Integration with Visual Studio and other IDE's The webinar will be roughly 2 hours and it will be mostly demo-centric. It is a completely free event. If you'd like to attend, please re

Previous posts introducing ReSharper 6: ReSharper 6 EAP is Open; Details on JavaScript Support CSS Support in ReSharper 6 ReSharper 6 Bundles Decompiler, Free Standalone Tool to Follow One of the new features we have added to ReSharper 6 is the ability to find out why ReSharper makes certain suggestions. Often, ReSharper can provide a suggestion such as the one shown below: For some people this might be clear, whether or not they would agree with the suggestion. For others it might make little sense, specially developers that are often new to the language or framework. In ReSharper

At JetBrains, pretty much everyone is a developer. From our CEO, all the way through to our Product Managers and QA. Even our head of Marketing has contributed with code to IntelliJ. As such, we get to dogfood our own products quite a bit, which provides us with a lot of feedback for improvements and new features. However, this has it’s drawbacks too. As developers and consumers of the products, we work with them mostly in ways that are “expected”, and often miss that angle where tools are used in manners they weren’t set out to be. That is why our users opinion, that is, yours, is fundament

From the 27th to the 29th of September, DevCon London is taking place. DevCon is organized by Software and Support, the great team behind conferences such as BASTA, JAX, PHPCon and many more. The conference is in parallel with JAX London so there’s for sure going to be a mix of crowds between .NET and Java developers. There’s a great line-up of speakers (a few more not on the list including Greg Young and Neil Robbins) and Richard and Carl will be there with their .NET Rocks Panel. If you’ve not signed up yet, I recommend you do. It’s going to be a great event. The night of the 29th, JetBrai

For some time now, we’ve had requests from the community to have a central point where people could have access to Screencasts and other Video related material that we provide. In response to that, we are happy to announce the availability of JetBrainsTV (Beta!).     The content is organized by Channels, currently one per product, although we will be expanding that to include other topics in the near future. Most of this content, if not all, is tagged with keywords, allowing you to easily locate topics you are interested in. In addition, the cross-cutting nature of the tags allo
