Copy Code Reference in ReSharper and Rider 2021.3 EAP

Copy/paste is probably the most used action by anyone using a computer. But how do you copy the thing you want to copy? Say you are in a method in the editor – how do you copy a link to the current line on GitHub? Or copy the current namespace, class name, or method name to the clipboard? ReSharper and Rider keep you in the flow of coding, without having to jump through hoops to copy this information. With the reworked Copy Code Reference action (previously Copy FQN), you can easily point your fellow teammates to the code you’re talking about and be more productive when writing XML documentati

Create well-formed XML and schema efficiently

Most companies, both large and small still use XML, even if JSON has overtaken it in popularity. However, many are using it, for example to exchange data, or have configuration files that can contain comments (unlike JSON). Whatever your reason for using XML, Rider contains many great XML features that enable you to work with it more efficiently. In this blog post, we’ll look at using Rider to create and maintain perfectly well-formed XML, schemas, and more. Fortunately for us, Rider contains many great XML features that enable you to work with it more efficiently. In this blog post, we’ll loo

Improved XML documentation support in ReSharper and Rider

Having code with XML documentation is great, as it allows generating nice API documentation and provides useful help while writing code: ReSharper 2017.2 and Rider 2017.2 EAP give us more tooling to organize XML documentation across inheritance hierarchies. When creating a class library that provides XML documentation, we can make use of the <inheritdoc/> element to inherit documentation from a base class or an interface. Consider the following code: /// <inheritdoc /> public class TenantAwareCustomerRepository : ITenantAware, IRepository<Customer> { }

Smart Paste in Rider

Today, I'd like to introduce you to Smart Paste, a "little big feature" in Rider (as well as in ReSharper). It ensures the right escaping in string literals that are copy/pasted. For example, consider pasting The "Name" field is required into var error = "". We would paste the string, then move to both " characters and escape them with \", making sure there are no syntax errors. Rider helps us out here with a quick-fix that can escape illegal characters for us! Smart paste works in C#, VB.NET, JavaScript, XML, XAML and HTML files, and suggests escaping
