A new ReSharper maintenance release is now available. We recommend you to download and install ReSharper 8.2.3 in case you were unable to use previous bug-fix updates (8.2.1 and 8.2.2) due to expired subscription, although your subscription was valid for upgrading to 8.2 (expired after March, 21). In addition to solving the upgrade issue, this update contains a fix to a problem with Go To Implementation on method or interface not working properly. Stay tuned since more good news are just around the corner! Get ReSharper

A new ReSharper maintenance release is now available for download. Please install this upgrade if you have experienced the following issues with ReSharper 8.2: A numeric comparison error when getting or updating nuget packages (when MSBuild is used to obtain project references). SSL-Certificate error while connecting to JetBrains Account. Speaking of JetBrains Account, this is a new way of managing your licenses for JetBrains tools. As a single interaction point with JetBrains products and services, it provides a simple and convenient way to access and manage your purchases, view your

When we first launched ReSharper 8 back in July last year, there was a very nice little feature hidden in internal mode. This was being used by the dev team to help keep an eye on performance. It was a little checkbox that said “Show allocations (delegates, closures, hidden allocations, boxing)”. It added highlights to your code, as you type, indicating where memory is being allocated. It’s very eye-opening to see how frequently memory is allocated, and often in places you don’t expect. Take this call to a function with “params” arguments. Note the orange highlight, telling us that .net wil

A new ReSharper maintenance release is now available for download. Please feel free to upgrade if your experience with ReSharper 8.2 is subpar due to the following issues: False positive errors in Windows Phone projects with references to PCLs Ambiguous reference errors Issues with Jasmine and AngularJS tests not running Here's the full list of fixes and enhancements included in ReSharper 8.2.1 for your reference. Updates to ReSharper SDK and ReSharper Command Line Tools are available too, as well as compatible builds of dotTrace, dotCover and dotMemory (the latter additionally cont

It’s no secret that on large projects, developers spend a lot of time simply navigating through their code. The bigger the project, the more time you need to find a certain class/object/file/anything. That’s why fast and easy code navigation is an essential feature of any IDE as it directly affects developer’s productivity. Visual Studio and ReSharper both offer tools that help you not get lost in your code: the Navigate to feature in Visual Studio and the Go to set of tools in ReSharper. In this post, we’ll try to compare these navigation features of Visual Studio 2013 and ReSharper 8.x

ReSharper 8.2.1 Release Candidate has arrived. In case you don't have any issuses with ReSharper 8.2 feel free to skip this update. Please download and try the RC build if the following improvements fix problems that you experienced with ReSharper 8.2: Fix for multiple false positive errors in Windows Phone projects with referenced Portable Class Libraries. Unit test runner fixes that address Jasmine and AngularJS tests not running, as well as fixed NUnit integration. Fixed incorrect ambiguous references error. Other bug-fixes and improvements. If any critical issues are still botheri

Join us Wednesday, April 16th, 15:00 – 16:00 GMT (11:00 AM – 12:00 PM EDT) for our free live webinar, Deconstructing Clippy, with Matt Ellis. Clippy for ReSharper is a good April Fools' day joke made better by the fact that it's a real, fully functioning extension - replacing the Alt+Enter menus as well as integrating with navigation and refactoring. It's also a great demonstration of the varied and often surprising ways you can extend ReSharper. This webinar will take a deep dive into Clippy's implementation. We won't look at the standard extension points (it doesn't use any!), but will loo

When we heard that Office 2003 was being retired, we spotted a synergy almost immediately. ReSharper has always wanted to make you more productive with your code. We already provide great tools for navigation and code completion, refactoring, inspections and running unit tests. But how can we improve on what we’ve got? How can we really help you, our customer, develop great solutions for your customers? With Office 2003 hitting end of support, the answer was obvious - a much loved icon was also being retired. We’ve offered him a job. That’s right, Clippy is coming to ReSharper. And this isn’t

We are still eager to deliver cross compatible joint releases, that’s why today we prepared a triple update for our .NET tools. The following builds are already waiting for you to download and try: ReSharper 8.2, dotCover 2.7 and dotTrace Performance 5.5.4. Here's why these updates can be attractive to you: ReSharper 8.2 As you might have already heard, lately we've been working on improving your TypeScript coding experience with ReSharper. Here’s a quick overview of what we’ve done in this regard: ReSharper 8.2 significantly expands TypeScript support with smart completio

When we announced TypeScript Support in ReSharper 8.1, we promised you a lot more to come. It's time to deliver on that promise. Here are some of the things we’ve added in ReSharper 8.2: Support for generics as well as many improvements to ReSharper’s type resolution mechanisms. Create from usage lets you start using code constructs first and create them later. This mechanism supports creation of many different constructs such as creation of modules or enum members from usage. ReSharper now also honors Member Generation settings for usage-generated TypeScript code. Compiler-defined

One of the most popular questions we're facing as soon as we push a new release is whether it works faster than before. ReSharper performance has a ton of dependencies related to hardware, Visual Studio configuration (including other installed extensions as well as native VS components like XAML Designer) and ReSharper's own configuration. Nevertheless, the team always finds ways to improve the product's performance. This is an ongoing process across all our releases, and 8.x is no exception. Let’s take a look at where exactly ReSharper 8.x became faster: overall UI responsiveness, codin

Yes, you read that right. We’ve just released the EAP version of 8.2, which replaces the previous 8.1.1 EAP. We’ve been working hard on fixes and especially on improved TypeScript support, and we’ve decided that the number of new features should be a whole new version, and not just a maintenance release. We’ll publish a blog post soon taking a look at some of the changes. As ever, with a new minor release, we’ve got some changes to APIs, which means existing plugins need to be updated. Plugin devs can find some guidance on our resharper-plugins Google Group. You can download ReSharper

With JavaScript’s continuous rise to fame, it only makes sense for us to continue improving JS support in ReSharper. The following is an exposition of some of the new ways in which ReSharper 8.1 makes JavaScript coding faster as well as safer. Completion Helpers via TypeScript When working with pure JavaScript files, it’s actually possible to improve ReSharper’s code completion functionality by including TypeScript type definitions in your libraries. In order to add this kind of support, you need first of all to search NuGet for DefinitelyTyped packages: Without the TypeScript annotat

Double completion meets XAML As one of the code completion improvements in ReSharper 8, we introduced a powerful and easy-to-use concept called double completion. When working with C# or VB.NET, should the code completion list fail to provide the item you need in particular context, you can just hit Ctrl+Space one more time to extend the completion list either with items that were previously filtered out or with items whose references to be imported (this paradigm also applies to import and smart completion). XAML editor code completion in ReSharper 8.1 now shares the same idea. Completi

We've just cooked a joint release of three .NET tools! The following RTM builds are available for download: ReSharper 8.1, dotCover 2.6 and dotTrace Performance 5.5.3. (Updates to ReSharper SDK, dotTrace SDK and ReSharper Command Line Tools are all available, too.) Now let's elaborate on why you'd want to download and install all this. ReSharper 8.1 We've announced most highlights of ReSharper 8.1 in the EAP launch post back in October and in subsequent feature-specific posts but let's walk through the changes briefly once again. We've added support for TypeScript highlighted

In November, we conducted a survey for our ReSharper users. We wanted to learn more about your upgrade patterns and your motivations for upgrading to ReSharper 8 or skipping this major release. We appreciate the time that many of you took to complete our survey and having shared your opinions with us. As promised we are now ready to announce the lucky winners of some great prizes! Our 30 winners were chosen at random from the complete list of participants who completed the survey and choose in advance the prize category they were interested in. Without further delay here are the winners: 10

We've been publishing ReSharper 8.1 and dotCover 2.6 EAP builds for a while, and although dotTrace Performance hasn't revealed any early builds recently, it has also been updated to match the state of its peer products. Now, in an effort to simultaneously update all major .NET developer tools and make them work seamlessly with each other, we're presenting 3 Beta releases at the same time: Download ReSharper 8.1 Beta with support for TypeScript development; integration into Visual Studio 2013 RTM including its two leading features, Peek Definition and Enhanced Scroll Bar; improvements to Proje

With the recent announcement of the ReSharper 8.1 EAP, we’ve made steps to address one of the common requests of plugin authors – to ship the ReSharper SDK as a NuGet package. Previously, we’ve shipped the SDK as an MSI installer that would install Visual Studio templates, MSBuild targets, tools and reference assemblies, or as a standalone zip file, containing the same files. While this works just fine for developing on your own machine, it doesn’t play nicely when building on a Continuous Integration server such as TeamCity. You have to manually install the SDK on each build agent, or check

This year we’ve seen something unprecedented: the release cycle for Visual Studio has shrunk to just one year, and Visual Studio 2013 came out with some pretty serious improvements across the board. ReSharper, as you can imagine, always tries to provide a seamless development experience, so in ReSharper 8.1 we’ve added support for two VS2013-specific features: peek definition and the enhanced scroll bar. Peek Definition Just in case you haven’t seen it, the Peek Definition feature of VS2013 allows you to peek into the source code of a referenced entity right in the current
