For Rider, 2021 is the year of debugging, debugging, debugging! In July’s 2021.2 EAP release, we've made several Blazor debugging updates. Now we’re following up with even more excellent debugging improvements in our current 2021.3 Early Access Preview (EAP) release. It includes an updated UI for the debugger tool window, debugging of UWP applications, and the ability to debug applications runn

Changes are coming to the installation process for our .NET Tools, specifically ReSharper and Rider. The JetBrains ETW Host Service will now be delivered through a standalone installer, allowing you to choose the bitness (x86 or x64). In addition, the change will allow us to deliver critical security updates out-of-band to the service. Event Tracing For Windows (ETW) Host Service Event Traci

The State of Developer Ecosystem 2021 report is now available! It’s that time of year again, when JetBrains publishes the findings from our State of Developer Ecosystem Survey! For 2021, we’ve surveyed 31,743 developers from 183 countries or regions to see what are the latest trends and changes in the software development industry. We run this survey yearly for several years to track developer

The popularity of Source Generators is slowly yet steadily growing within the .NET community as more projects learn to utilize them to reduce tedious and repetitive development work. Newcomers can get an overview in our Source Generators introductory blog post, try various samples Microsoft provides, or watch the recorded talk "Source Generators in Practice" from JetBrains .NET Days Online. Sou

Despite the name, endpoints are generally where ASP.NET Core development starts for many developers. Endpoints handle incoming requests and provide appropriate responses to clients. While the concept of endpoints has existed since the inception of web development, it was only recently formalized into ASP.NET Core 3.1. Developers can implement endpoints as Razor Pages, ASP.NET Core MVC controll

The JetBrains Rider team is working hard on bringing you the next release of Rider. We will soon release the first Early Access Program (EAP) version of Rider, so now is a good time to look at what enhancements, bug fixes, and features you can expect. Note that these are features we’re working on and not exactly features guaranteed for delivery –  we may choose to delay 

In this post, we'll look at some pitfalls and ideas EF Core users like yourself may want to consider when developing an application. Entity Framework Core (EF Core) is a ground-up rewrite of Microsoft's object-database mapping framework. Getting started with EF Core is relatively straightforward, but mastering it can take an entire career. As a long-time user of earlier Entity Framework versions,

Edit: We invite you to join JetBrains .NET Days Online 2021, a free virtual event, taking place Tuesday and Wednesday, May 11–12, 13:00–22:00 CEST (07:00–16:00 EDT). Let us know if you can make it! COUNT ME IN! In 2019, we held our first JetBrains .NET Day Online. After a succesful repeat in 2020, we want to again host sessions by community speakers at the JetBrains .NET Day Online 2021 on May 12

Ah, December. A great month! It provides us with some downtime, there are a number of holidays, and it's the month where I turn 37. December also brings a chance to look back at the past year, and that's exactly what we wanted to do in this blog post: look back at our 2020 webinars, and look forward to 2021. 🤔 JetBrains Webinars? Each month, we try to bring you at least one session where c

During the last several days, I've been experimenting with an Apple M1 device from the perspective of a .NET Developer using a typical developer toolkit: .NET SDKs, Node, JetBrains Rider, other editors, and mobile emulators. For .NET developers considering using an Apple M1 for their daily development machine, we'll see what it is currently like to work on these devices. The goal is not to get eve

As developers, we love tools. But often, too much tooling gets in the way when trying to develop applications quickly. Have you ever been ripping through code when you want to refactor or do a common task, but just can’t find the command for it because there are too many distractions? It’s very frustrating! Let’s take a look at how ReSharper brings back simplicity when using an IDE, with its famou

With the .NET 5 release comes the newest Entity Framework Core version, unsurprisingly called Entity Framework Core 5 (EF Core 5). The .NET community got its first glimpse of Entity Framework (EF) on August 11th, 2008, with the release of .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1. Let's say a few things have changed since the initial release. For those unfamiliar with the technology, Entity Framework is a
