ReSharper 5.0 Is Out!

Tuesday, April 13th, 2010

ReSharper 5.0 is finally here, and you can download it right now!

We’ve blogged for a while now about the great new stuff in ReSharper 5.0 (and we’ll continue blogging about it), but here’s a short recap:

Web Development: You get an extensive toolset for ASP.NET development to work with markup files and web site infrastructure. ASP.NET MVC developers get a bonus with additional syntax highlighting, inspections, navigation, and completion for actions and controllers.
Project and Team: Powerful, shareable structural search and replace patterns to remove code smells or comply with team policies; project-level refactorings; localization assistance; and full support for navigation to library sources — all this to help you and your team easily view, change and maintain the structure of complex projects.
Code Analysis: Lots of improvements, from viewing all code smells in your solution from a single tool window to upgrading foreach and for loops to LINQ queries, to value tracking and call tracking.
Support for Visual Studio 2010: Yes, we did it! ReSharper 5.0 has sim-shipped with the latest Visual Studio! Did you see it coming in your wildest dreams?
Other enhancements relating to IntelliSense, bookmarking, native NUnit support, and more.

What’s New has more details we haven’t yet covered in our blogs.

So, what are you waiting for? Grab ReSharper 5.0 while it’s hot!

When you’ve been convinced, buy ReSharper 5.0 or upgrade. The upgrade is free if your 4.5 license is dated October 15, 2009, or later!

Tales from the Development Crypt: Snapshooting 450GB

Wednesday, April 15th, 2009

We have recently crossed the bounds of our specialization to set a world record in data transfer rate by throwing a 450GB file from one machine to another in only 1 minute! It was surprisingly easy: all we had to do was find a fast-running developer and equip the guy with an HDD!
Fake world records aside, only 4 months since our previous milestone, we’ve collected and successfully opened a 450GB snapshot. We mean it. Anyone ever seen a .NET profiler lifting that much weight?

Tales from the Development Crypt: How a dotTrace Alpha Helped ReSharper Beta

Wednesday, December 24th, 2008

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.

Tales from the Development Crypt: Going Full Speed Ahead

Wednesday, November 26th, 2008

We just opened an 80Gb performance snapshot. It took dotTrace only 34 seconds after launch to show the call stack!

The downside: no more coffee breaks while snapshots are being opened!

Tales from the Development Crypt: dotTrace Paradigm Shift

Thursday, November 6th, 2008

Everybody knows that profilers throw OutOfMemoryException’s during multihour sessions with fatty applications. It’s just as certain as death, taxes and beer, isn’t it?

Well, the new version of dotTrace will apparently go its own way: profiler core now prefers InsufficientDiskSpaceException’s.

Yes, you got it right — we’ve improved dotTrace to handle tens and even hundreds of gigabytes of monitored data without running out of memory. Now only your hard drive is the limit!

This post serves to gather feedback regarding any particular ReSharper features that you’d like to see reviewed in this blog.
Please have your say!

Updated! This post is not a place to suggest new features/improvements for whatever version of ReSharper. The most efficient way to do it is using JIRA.
