Despite being a plugin itself, ReSharper serves as an incredible platform for plugin creation. ReSharper’s development team uses the dependency injection approach to design every aspect of the product. That means that any component of ReSharper is like a building block that can be overridden with plugins, opening up virtually limitless possibilities for fine-tuning every aspect of ReSharper’s behavior.  As a plugin author, you get to take advantage of each and every component that ReSharper developers themselves use. But there’s a flip side to such freedom. Following the “each p

It’s that time, again! The software development industry at large starts the new year with a retrospective of the previous. Just like during our software development projects. We at JetBrains run the Developer Ecosystem Survey yearly to capture the zeitgeist of the development world. While the survey covers many languages and technologies, this recap focuses on C#. Enjoy the results and commentary of the survey! VIEW THE FULL REPORT Top C# Discoveries .NET overall continues to be a solid platform for many types of applications and companies.

Having a profiling tool integrated into your IDE is an asset no developer can discount the value of. The undeniable convenience of being able to screen your app for performance issues on the fly is why the dotTrace profiler comes integrated into Rider. With our latest EAP build, we’re expanding on that convenience by introducing a built-in memory profiling tool.  In this post, we’ll explore how to run memory profiling in Rider using the latest addition to this IDE’s plugin roster – dotMemory Profiler.  Disclaimer: dotMemory Profiler is currently only available on Windows in Rid

The recording of our April 21 webinar, NUKE - Designing a build system with IDE support in mind, with Matthias Koch, is now available. Subscribe to our community newsletter to receive notifications about future webinars. There are quite a number of build systems for the .NET ecosystem. All of them have proven to improve lives of many developers working in build infrastructure. However, many of them follow a scripting approach, which inevitably requires lots of efforts to bring back common IDE features like code completion, refactorings, or debugging. NUKE is different in that it doesn't step
