ReSharper 7

Have you upgraded Visual Studio 2012 to Update 2 RTM? If you have, please download ReSharper 7.1.3, which is mostly about compatibility with this new Visual Studio update. Specifically, ReSharper can now successfully run MSTest fixtures in VS2012 Update 2 (this was the most important problem that has prevented usage of ReSharper 7.1.2 with VS2012 Update 2); adds support for Windows Phone 8 unit test projects; and becomes compatible with the final release of LightSwitch HTML Client as part of VS2012 Update 2. To make things clearer, here are some easy rules specifying whether you need ReSharper

In case you haven’t already been introduced, AngularJS is a popular JavaScript framework for creating dynamic web applications. It provides many of the services required to build such applications, not the least of which is a declarative approach to updating the UI. It favours the use of data binding and templates over direct DOM manipulation, and it makes it possible to create complex sites with a minimum of code. For more information, check out the examples on their home page, or take a look at the video tutorials by our very own John Lindquist. We’ve just released a plugin that adds ReShar

Two quick maintenance releases to our .NET tools become available today: please download ReSharper 7.1.2 and dotTrace 5.3.1 Performance. ReSharper 7.1.2 contains fixes to Find Usages (RSRP-336714) and auto-completion in XAML (RSRP-337050), brings a pack of unit testing improvements related to running MSTest fixtures in Visual Studio 2012 (here's the list of fixes), and adds more updates to the installer. dotTrace 5.3.1 Performance fixes fetching PDB files required for code preview (DTRC-8228), and improves installation in certain scenarios. If you're experiencing any of the issues mentioned

Most ReSharper plugins provide general-purpose services – spell checking, style enforcement, unit testing, code generation or context actions for XAML, string manipulation or code quality. The focus is wide, either concentrating on multiple file types or multiple analyses. The CatelR# ReSharper plugin takes a different approach, and has a very narrow focus. It provides context actions and analyses specifically for users of the Catel framework. Catel is a framework with a focus on MVVM based applications. It provides multiple services to the application developer, including an IoC container,

ReSharper provides comprehensive support for running and debugging unit tests. Out of the box, it works with NUnit and Microsoft’s Visual Studio Unit Testing Framework (henceforth mstest for brevity) for .Net languages, and supports QUnit and Jasmine for JavaScript. The same APIs that ReSharper uses to implement this support are fully available to third parties, and there are currently plugins to expand this support to include Machine.Specifications (MSpec), xUnit.net and support for Silverlight projects. More can be added at any time, through the use of the SDK. The MSpec project is a “

T4 files have sometimes suffered from a lack of love. It’s brilliant that Visual Studio provides an ASP.NET-like template language in the box with Visual Studio, but there is not much support – for example, there is no syntax colouring in Visual Studio, and ReSharper knows nothing about the contents of the file. We have an item on our issue tracker to include support, but I’m very pleased to announce that one of our users has beaten us to it and created a very impressive plugin to do just that – the first plugin we have that provides support for a new file type.

Rolling out updates to two .NET tools simultaneously is twice as fun: please download the shiny and new dotTrace 5.3 Performance for Visual Studio 2012 integration and Windows Store app profiling, and ReSharper 7.1.1 for bug fixes and performance improvements. Major changes in dotTrace 5.3 Performance include: The most requested and expected feature: integration with Visual Studio 2012. Prior versions of Visual Studio are still supported as well. Integration with ReSharper 7.1 and 7.1.1. Support for profiling Windows Store applications, including Windows Store test projects. New filters

ReSharper 7.1 has only just been released, and once again, it’s time to congratulate our plugin authors on how quickly they have support for the latest version ready. A lot of these plugins are Open Source, and produced in the authors’ spare time, so we’d like to give them a big thank you for their continued support. Here are some of the plugins: We have testing frameworks: AgUnit can run and debug Silverlight tests, the xunitcontrib runner provides xUnit.net support and the latest MSpec NuGet package includes a ReSharper 7.1 runner. There are code validation plug-ins: StyleCop will analyse y

You knew ReSharper 7.1 had been underway for some time, and now, the day has come: ReSharper 7.1 is officially released and available for download. You're welcome to grab the new ReSharper update. Some of the reasons why you would want to do this include: Performance and bug fixes: since releasing version 7.0, we have fixed over 300 performance problems and bugs! Special notice goes to performance fixes for SharePoint and ASP.NET MVC projects, as well as those for resource files. Improved code formatter: considering that code formatting is a very s

Code formatting is, and will always remain, a sensitive subject: with many companies having their own specific standards, it’s very difficult to please everyone. In ReSharper 7.1, we’ve taken another shot at smoothing out the formatting experience with more options and settings, many of which were requested by our customers. Aligning Multiline Constructs It has long been an issue that long method calls, whether it be in fluent interfaces or LINQ, resulted in code that looked less than agreeable. What we've done to remedy this is added two options to control the way long method ca

As many of you know, after months of waiting Microsoft has finally released Windows Phone 8 SDK to the general public. This means that you can now start writing WP8 apps and it should probably come as no surprise that ReSharper is here to help once again! Here is an overview of some of the aspects of WP8 development that ReSharper 7.1 supports out of the box: Code completion is provided in both the C# and VB languages as well as XAML. Code inspections, quick-fixes and context actions let you quickly fix errors, improve and organize your code: A vast array of XAML-related improvements
