We discussed the motivations and our push toward running Rider on .NET Core in our previous post. As part of that effort, we are looking into converting projects in the ReSharper and Rider solution to using the new, simpler, SDK-based projects introduced with .NET Core. In this post, we will see why we want to do this migration. We'll talk about how we ran into some development-time issues when using the newer project style with large solutions, and how that led into finding a similar issue with the "old .csproj" format. We'll also share a workaround with you. Let's dive in! (more…)

Hello everyone, ReSharper Ultimate 2020.1 is now available! We encourage you to try out the first major update this year. Read about the release highlights in this blog post, or visit our What’s New page to see a comprehensive list of improvements. This release has tons of changes to the architecture of ReSharper that bring us closer to our goal of running all the core ReSharper features out of the Visual Studio process. All these modifications took place under the hood, so you won’t notice any changes in the UI or the UX in the ReSharper 2020.1 release build. If you missed the news

It seems that a common problem among profiling tools (including ours) is that they require too much effort from a developer. Profiling currently is seen as some kind of a last resort for when something has gone horribly wrong. The use of profilers is very episodic and chaotic, and it's quite often ineffective because you simply can't be an expert in a tool you use only once every six months. We find this kind of sad because we strongly believe that regular profiling is essential for product quality. That being said, is there any solution? Well, our answer is "yes," but with some caution. Since
