Whether you’re starting out with a new project or refactoring a mature codebase, good folder and file organization makes your life less stressful. Having a good structure for your project creates an atmosphere that enables reading comprehension and fluid navigation. In this blog post, we’ll look at some ways to organize and streamline your .NET projects, folders, and code in Rider. Organize project file structure Clean Architecture is a popular way of organizing .NET, Java, and other projects so as to help separate concerns, and promote loosely coupled, agile designs. Some developers may

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 running in Windows Docker containers. Debugger UI Update It is absolutely essential that developers have a good debugging experience. So we’ve done a bit of work and updated the Debug tool wind

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 Tracing for Windows, commonly referred to as ETW, is a foundation for the Windows Performance Toolkit. Using ETW, you can capture kernel and application-level events without restarting the system or curren

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 trends. The full report for 2021 is now available. We invite you to read through the key takeaways and detailed data for many programming languages and areas of software development. Read the full

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. Source generators are a fantastic tool that allows you to generate code at compile-time. For example, you can use generators to extend every type in your project with equality methods or automatically pr

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 controllers, or using the newly available Map methods in ASP.NET Core. However, as our application domain grows, it can become cumbersome to discover endpoints. Additionally, an application may depend on exte

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 items until a later version. And we may choose to add more than what's in this post... Blazor Web Assembly (WASM) gives developers the ability to run their Blazor web applications directly in a

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, I started writing this post with many preconceived notions about pitfalls from that experience. While some conceptual pitfalls have made it from previous versions of EF, the EF Core team's care in add

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, 2021. JetBrains .NET Day Online is a free virtual event where community speakers cover topics they are passionate about, ranging from deep technical .NET content and speakers' experiences with speci

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 community speakers cover the topics they are passionate about. This year we have seen deep technical .NET content, open source tools, methodology, and some topics around personal development. Speakers

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 everything to work, but to share the out-of-the-box experience developers will face in adopting an M1 chipset-driven products. Apple M1? On November 1st, 2020, through a mesmerizing drone-driven presenta
