JetBrains .NET Tools Blog

JetBrains tools continue to receive recognition and praise: three of them have been named finalists in this year’s Jolt Awards!

ReSharper, our intelligent add-in for Microsoft Visual Studio that you love so much, was honored as one of the five best Development Environments.

In the Change and Configuration Management category, the finalists included TeamCity, our distributed build management and continuous integration server.

And last but not least, dotTrace, our super-fast and efficient .NET profiling tool, was picked by Jolt judges as one of the best five Utilities.

Best of all, each of these products still has a shot at winning the big kahuna - the Jolt Excellence award, or maybe a Jolt Productivity award! We’ll keep you posted.

We thank you, our customers, for making our products a success.
Keep developing with JetBrains - and with pleasure!

Back in the days when R# 4.0 was still in the making, we were profiling it heavily in order to, you know, make sure it wouldn’t suck all your hardware resources out. Time and again we were getting thousands and thousands of threads accumulated in snapshots. Obviously, merging them was a real challenge.
Why, we thought, couldn’t R# guys be more accurate with threads, and wondered whether we would ever get a complete snapshot.
The thread exuberance issue in R# was eventually solved, but you know what? Even before that happened, dotTrace had never ever gone crazy profiling the Most Intelligent Tool for Visual Studio.
The message is: whenever you have a zillion threads in your application, it’s not a problem for dotTrace - it’s a problem for you.
