This is the second part of a previous post on Searching for Patterns in HTML using ReSharper 6. In the first part we covered the basics of searching for HTML tags, including the use of CSS selectors, using Structural Search and Replace. In this second and final post, we are going to put what we have learned to use, to not only allow us to replace our findings, but also as a means of extending ReSharper with custom patterns, which is the core idea behind Structural Search and Replace. Replacing tags The same dialog box that is used to search for patterns, can also be employed to replace patter

In ReSharper 5, we added a feature called Structural Search and Replace (SSR). You could think of it as a cross between Regular Expressions and Templating, with the added benefit that you don’t need to know RegEx to use it. The basic idea behind it is to allow you to extend ReSharper’s code analysis by defining custom patterns, and optionally providing quick-fixes (for replacing these with other patterns). In ReSharper 6.1, we extended SSR with support for other languages, specifically HTML and ASPX markup. Let’s take a look at how this can help us with web applications we work on. Searching

Did you report issues with ReSharper 6.1? Did you take part in the latest early access program? If you did, chances are that your efforts are now being rewarded: we have just made available ReSharper 6.1.1: a new maintenance release of the awesome Visual Studio productivity tool. Let's put it this way: if you're fine with version 6.1, you probably shouldn't be upgrading to 6.1.1. However, if you've been experiencing any of these 40 bugs with 6.1 that are now fixed, go on and download ReSharper 6.1.1. Most prominent issues resolved for 6.1.1 include code cleanup options not being saved under t

  One of the changes introduced with the new settings in ReSharper 6.1 is how importing and exporting of templates and custom patterns are done (Custom Patterns were previously known as Structural Search and Replace).  As part of the unification of settings, Templates and Patterns now fall under the same modus-operandi when it comes to importing and exporting as other settings do. This is very similar to how our IDEA based IDE’s such as IntelliJ, WebStorm et al. work. However, certain legacy functionality is also available depending on what needs to be done. The de-facto choice B

Those cover support for JavaScript (including unit testing with QUnit), CSS, ASP.NET MVC 3 Razor, and Async CTP; bundled decompiler; explanations on ReSharper inspections; fine-tuning file headers; ReSharper settings revised in 6.1 (and their company-wide usage); recent improvements in IntelliSense options, and optimizing assembly references Though every new release of ReSharper comes with extra features and functionality, there are always things that our

Do you like ReSharper 6.1? Judging by the feedback that keeps arriving via multiple channels, most users are happy with performance improvements and extended functionality. However, could there be a release of an application as complex as ReSharper without bugs? This is very unlikely, and we do know that 6.1 RTM does have certain issues that affect a part of its audience. With that in mind, we're planning to deliver another minor update early next year that would exclusively focus on fixing issues discovered with 6.1 that don't imply any substantial architectural changes. For the most part, th

Christmas is only a few days away and we've decided to celebrate it a little earlier by releasing not one, but all three of our main .NET tools: ReSharper 6.1, dotCover 1.2 and dotTrace 4.5.2 Performance. ReSharper 6.1 As covered in previous posts, this release of ReSharper is much more than a few bug fixes. Settings In ReSharper 6.0 we laid the foundations for what would be the new settings management engine. This was quite a substantial change, both from an architectural point of view as well as functional. Unfortunately due to that pesky little annoyance called time, we did not manage to fi

A couple of days ago, we have started to release ReSharper 6.1 nightly builds in production mode, with build 30 being the first one of the new breed. What sets production builds apart from regular development builds is that exceptions are suppressed, meaning no more wild life in the right corner of the status bar, and performance is slightly better due to lower count of checks, asserts and whatnot. Basically, production mode builds is what you get when we deliver betas, release candidates, and final release builds. What it all means for you is that if you're generally reluctant to trying night
