About

Why ReSharper?

How ReSharper helps Visual Studio users

Analyze code quality

On-the-fly code quality analysis is available in C#, VB.NET, XAML, ASP.NET, ASP.NET MVC, JavaScript, TypeScript, CSS, HTML, and XML. You’ll know right away if your code needs to be improved.

Eliminate errors and code smells

Not only does ReSharper warn you when there’s a problem in your code, but it provides hundreds of quick fixes to solve problems automatically. In almost every case, you can select the best quick fix from various options.

Safely change the code base

Automated solution-wide code refactorings help you safely change your code base. Whether you need to revitalize legacy code or put your project structure in order, you can rely on ReSharper.

Instantly traverse the entire solution

You can instantly navigate and search through the whole solution. Jump to any file, type, or type member, or navigate from a specific symbol to its usages, base and derived symbols, or implementations.

Enjoy code editing helpers

Multiple code editing helpers, including extended IntelliSense, hundreds of instant code transformations, auto-importing namespaces, rearranging code, and displaying documentation.

Comply with coding standards

Code style and formatting functionality with fine-tuned, language-specific settings will help you eliminate unused code and create a common coding standard for your team.


ReSharper makes Visual Studio a much better IDE

Code analysis

ReSharper extends Visual Studio with over 2200 on-the-fly code inspections for C#, VB.NET, ASP.NET, JavaScript, TypeScript and other technologies. For most inspections, ReSharper provides quick fixes (light bulbs) to improve the code.

Find and remove unused code? Migrate your code to the latest C# version? Convert loops to LINQ at will? Find and prevent possible exceptions? Use a common naming standard? All that and many more code improvements are made possible with ReSharper’s code analysis.

Refactorings

60+ refactorings and 450+ context actions help safely organize code and move it around the solution, distribute responsibility, decouple, decrease complexity, or simply use alternative language syntax.

ReSharper helps instantly get to any code in a solution, no matter how large the solution is. It can also navigate you from any symbol to its related code such as implementations of a given interface, extension methods of a class, or usages of a field.

Code formatting and cleanup in ReSharper

Code formatting and cleanup in ReSharper

Configure and apply code style based on your personal preferences or your team standard. Code style and formatting settings for C#, VB.NET, ASP.NET, JavaScript, TypeScript and other languages can be applied in any scope, from a selection to a solution.

Code generation

ReSharper can create a lot of code for you: from new files and classes to conditional blocks and GUIDs; from methods and properties required by an interface being implemented to equality checks and formatting members.

News

What’s new in ReSharper 2023.1.3

Fixes

  • Fixed a performance issue where ReSharper 2023.1.1 would cause Visual Studio to take an excessive amount of time to display the splash screen.
  • ReSharper and Visual Studio would crash if there was a $ symbol before a string.
  • The Convert To List Pattern quick-fix broke code that dealt with arrays.
  • A bug causing ReSharper’s code inspection to incorrectly interpret null-coalescing operators, falsely claiming that the left side of the operation can never be null.
  • An error causing ReSharper to display the loading status symbol for unit tests that have already been run.
  • A behavior where ReSharper would display bogus “already in interface list” inspections for interfaces nested inside a generic class, and referencing the nested interface in child classes of the generic class.
  • An issue with InspectCode reporting CSharpErrors for code generated using source generators.
  • A behavior in the ReSharper extension manager that suggested packages that weren’t the latest available version.
  • A bug preventing the installation of ReSharper plugins on ARM64 platforms.
  • Broken links in the descriptions in ReSharper | Options | Code inspection | Inspection Severity.
  • Instances of false red code in Razor projects.

Language injections

  • Introduced a couple of changes to the support for language injections:
  • Language injections now work inside C# 11 raw string literals.
  • ReSharper supports the [StringSyntax] attribute from .NET 7, along with its different syntaxes for language injection and code completion.

General C# updates

  • Global imports gutter mark
    Added a new gutter mark icon to notify users about implicit namespace imports in C# and Razor files.
  • Format string completion
    With the addition of Int128 and UInt128 numeric types in .NET 7, code completion format specifier suggestions have been updated. Missing support for DateOnly and TimeOnly date/time types from .NET 6 has also been added, as well as the half-precision floating point numeric type introduced in .NET 5.
  • Trivial patterns to expressions
    Sometimes after refactoring, your pattern-matching expressions may turn into trivial recursive patterns. At this point it may not be worthwhile to use the recursive pattern syntax at all, so ReSharper now offers the action of rewriting patterns into simpler expressions while preserving the original pattern-matching semantics.
  • Code completion hints for a void expression
    Sometimes when you type after an invocation, you see hardly any meaningful suggestions. This can happen if the invocation resulted in no value being produced when the void-returning method was invoked. Usually it takes a few IDE actions to realize that (going back and navigating to the method declaration, or hovering the mouse over the invocation). In this release we’ve introduced the void hint item over this type of void-returning invocation to give you immediate feedback about the type resulting from the invocation. Accepting this void item will add a semicolon after the invocation if the semicolon is missing.

Code highlighting

  • Code highlights and squiggles in ReSharper have received an overhaul. Due to a difference in internal logic, ReSharper used to come into conflict with Microsoft Roslyn’s code style analyzers, causing it to display overlapping highlighting, draw the same highlight in different spots, or double the squiggles. The differences in logic behind the majority of such instances have now been resolved, and for the rare outlier cases, there are errors with clear suggestions on how to resolve the conflict.

Security

  • Whenever you’re using open-source NuGet packages in your solutions, there’s a risk of opening your project up to security vulnerabilities. Vulnerable dependency detection has been added in ReSharper. Starting with this release, any affected dependencies will be highlighted in .csproj and .vbproj files.
  • Support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 ARM64
  • ReSharper can now be integrated into Microsoft Visual Studio on ARM-powered devices. Initial support is being provided for all basic development workflows except spell-checking with ReSpeller.
  • The installer has been updated to include support for both x64 and ARM64. The correct version will automatically be installed in accordance with the processor architecture of your machine.
  • Support for Microsoft Windows ARM64
  • dotPeek, dotMemory, dotTrace, and dotCover, as well as ReSharper command-line tools, now support Windows ARM64.

Decompiler

  • Embedded decompiler in ReSharper now comes with support for:
  • static abstract and static virtual members in interfaces.
  • Generic attributes.
  • User-defined checked operators.
  • Unsigned right shift operator.

IL Viewer

  • The IL Viewer tool window is now able to decompile code into different levels of C# language constructs. There are two C# levels available: high-level, with certain syntax constructs simplified using the latest language features, and low-level, for cases when you want to know how these syntax constructs are desugared.

Dependency diagrams

  • ReSharper now allows you to save and import type and project dependency diagrams in the GraphML format, preserving the ability to use the diagram as a code map and to navigate through dependencies quickly.

Dynamic Program Analysis

  • Dynamic Program Analysis (DPA) has new inspections that let you find various issues related to database usage, namely:
  • Long command execution times.
  • Too many database connections.
  • Too many simultaneously executed database commands.
  • Commands returning too many records.
  • The new inspections are available for all applications that use Microsoft Entity Framework Core and a .NET data provider for Microsoft SQL Serv

C++20 modules

  • ReSharper C++ adds experimental support for C++20 modules. The language engine and many of the ReSharper C++ features have been updated to work with the new compilation model, supporting both named modules and header units.

Clang-format integration

  • ReSharper C++ now provides seamless integration with clang-format. You can now switch between ReSharper’s own formatting engine and the built-in or a custom clang-format binary for formatting files. ReSharper C++ runs clang-format in a separate process, ensuring full compatibility with the industry-standard formatter, as well as better performance and a more extensive range of formatting options.

Fixes

  • Fixed an issue with the screen blinking while typing before and after hints appear.
  • Fixed a bug causing a false positive error when using C# 11 generic math.
  • Fixed an error causing ReSharper to display Unicode escape sequences instead of invalid characters in high-level C# identifiers in ILViewer.
  • Fixed an error causing tests to disappear from a unit test session when grouping by duration and category.
  • Restored XAML settings under Settings | Editor | Inspection Settings | Inspection Severity.
  • Fixed ReSharper’s failure to load non-localized template macros from plugins.
