ReSharper 2.5 Answers C# Developers’ Needs

Sunday, December 24th, 2006

New and existing users are enjoying ReSharper 2.5 more than ever before. Mike Roberts, for one, is blogtastic about it in his blog.

Mike writes:

“I’ve been using Resharper for a while now, in fact ever since it has its first public EAP… 3 years on or so and I still think Resharper is the number 1 must-have Visual Studio plugin… If you’re a C# coder and have never tried Resharper I can’t recommend it enough.”

Keep developing with pleasure, Mike!

Successful Profiling Encounter Thanks to dotTrace Profiler

Thursday, December 7th, 2006

We keep discovering more success stories where folks used dotTrace Profiler 2.0 to solve .NET performance and memory issues effectively.

Asbjorn Volstad used dotTrace 2.0 to profile a database-driven, dynamic web-site. He was able to pinpoint the bottlenecks in his ASP.NET code, which turned out to be database calls. Read his account of this accomplishment in Optimizing a big dynamic web app….

Thank you, Asbjørn, for sharing your profiling experience!

Test Driven Development with ReSharper 2.0

Thursday, August 17th, 2006

One more great ReSharper overview was published by Paul Laudeman at his blog. Using ReSharper as an essential part of your TDD toolkit describes ReSharper’s unit testing support for NUnit test framework and a number of other features such as code generation and navigation. For those who haven’t tried this functionality yet and want to learn more, we recommend reading the Unit Test Runner description from the ReSharper’s help.

By the way, we are going to add ‘friendly’ blogs to our blogroll. So, everyone who is blogging about .Net in general and ReSharper in particular can send us a link to the personal blog using the ‘Share your knowledge’ text box on the right side bar.

A great overview of ReSharper posted by Jeffrey Palermo

Friday, August 4th, 2006

It’s nice to read stories from guys like Jeffrey Palermo. We highly recommend reading his Bread and butter Resharper post to everyone who uses ReSharper. It took him some time to discover the better part of ReSharper’s benefits, but seeing how he says, “I can’t imagine coding without it now”, we think it was worth it after all!

Actually, that’s why we started this blog - to get this sort of valuable information out so you can take advantage of it and not be left out.

Most of the functionality Jeffrey describes is also covered in detail on ReSharper Home. Please use the links below to learn more about these features:

And of course, much more information can be found in ReSharper online help.

What does ReSharper really add to Visual Studio refactorings?

Monday, June 26th, 2006

Ok, ReSharper has all these productivity features, but what does it really add to Visual Studio, you ask? As far as refactorings go, ReSharper not only provides more of them than Visual Studio does, but also improves existing ones. This developer’s blog post explains in detail how the task of Encapsulating fields as properties is definitely more convenient with ReSharper than without.

Also, another EAP build is out, featuring noticeable improvements in performance. Catch this link from Gabriel Lozano-Morán - The .NET Aficionado: ReSharper 2.0.253 available
