Working with NuGet is an important part of every .NET project, and therefore its integration in Rider is one of our top priorities. Previously we introduced productivity boosts like import of missing packages, the NuGet quicklist and auto-display of README files. Now we want to show you some recent additions in the latest Rider 2020.2 EAP release. In this new version, we’ve added a new way to view implicit package references, extended the NuGet package list with a brand new context popup menu to access common operations, implemented a package search history, enhanced the config view with a

The recording of our July 9 webinar, How to stop worrying and adopt nullable reference types - Webinar Recording, with Andrey Dyatlov, is now available. Subscribe to our community newsletter to receive notifications about future webinars. Nullable reference types is a deceptively simple feature. While starting with it is as easy as adding a single ? mark to your source code, migrating large code bases has been proven to be a tedious and sometimes quite tricky task especially when complex code contracts and generics are involved. The presentation will quickly cover what benefits this

We’ve only just started the EAP for Rider 2020.2, but it’s already got plenty of goodies for Unity development. For example, we’ve done a huge amount of work to reduce memory overhead when parsing your assets, and Rider will now find usages and show Inspector values of more types, methods and fields, even inside prefab modifications! But today I’d like to introduce a new feature that we’re really excited about, a feature that you never knew you needed, but we think you’re going to love! We’re calling it a “pausepoint” and it’s a special kind of breakpoint that doesn’t stop the debugger i

TypeScript has become a popular language, for use on both the client and server. In this blog post, you’ll learn some basics about writing TypeScript, and how Rider can make TypeScript enjoyable. TypeScript overview TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript developed by Microsoft. That means it has everything that JavaScript does, plus some more goodies that enhance the JavaScript experience. It’s open source, and gives JavaScript developers a type system as a help to avoid mistakes. Because it’s a superset of JavaScript, all valid JavaScript code is valid TypeScript code. (more…)

Folks who use your software want to-the-second updates. Especially in a business setting, where people need to get things done, and get them done at "the speed of business". Company dashboards showing sales and their projections often need information to be available in real-time to really get that competitive advantage. Even users of personal apps such as social networking want to see replies and reactions immediately. Mom and dad don't want to waste a second waiting on those pictures of their grandkids! And as developers, we want to provide those features for them! This post shows you how

We’ve published a couple of bugfixes a moment ago: Rider 2020.1.3 and ReSharper Ultimate 2020.1.3 are ready for you to download. Here’s how we made each tool a tiny bit better. ReSharper Ultimate 2020.1.3 In this build, you will find the following most important things we’ve managed to fix: When using nullable reference types, you have two fewer things to worry about (RSRP-478846, RSRP-477755). Solution Wide Error Analysis (SWEA) now starts as normal on some projects on which it used to hang forever. Rider 2020.1.3 The code editor no longer auto-scrolls when you type (RIDER-44278). Node

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
