ReSharper 3.0: High Gear .NET Development

ReSharper 3.1 released, makes headway towards 4.0

This minor yet extremely upgrade-worthy ReSharper? release brings many bugfixes, improves stability, and extends support for various technologies and languages including ASP.NET, VB.NET and XAML. In addition, it introduces the amazingly powerful Solution-Wide? Analysis. The new feature lets you instantly find compilation errors in your whole solution - not just in the currently opened file.

And here's what you can expect in the next major release, ReSharper? 4.0, due out in early spring:

Comprehensive support for C# 3.0 language features, including:

• New code analysis, context actions and quick-fixes
  
• New refactorings (such as Convert to Extension Method, Convert to Automatic Property, Convert Anonymous Type to Named)
  
• Many more intelligence and productivity features
  
• Full set of refactorings available for VB.NET.
  
• Compiled libraries are now taken into account in null-reference analysis thanks to external annotations. Annotations for standard libraries come pre-packaged.
  
• Code Cleanup - a tool for ensuring compliance with code guidelines and enhancing code structure.
  
• Complete Statement - a feature that will complete language constructs and get you ready to write the next statement.
  
• Many other enhancements and new features throughout the product.

The release, spearheaded by a major expansion into new languages, offers full-featured support for Visual Basic .NET, XML and XAML, backed by comprehensive cross-language functionality. It also brings a host of new productivity-enhancing features such as a more in-depth code analysis for C#, a superior unit testing solution, efficient handling of to-do lists, plus new navigation and search commands.

Unrivalled Code Analysis for C#

In addition to detecting new warnings and errors on-the-fly, ReSharper? 3.0 offers code suggestions. The feature provides intelligent code analysis, including actual and potential errors as well as questionable code design - all while you type.

Multiple Productivity Enhancers

Version 3.0 includes multiple productivity enhancers across all its covered languages. The new features include “Go to Symbol” navigation, Unit Test Explorer (a totally reworked Unit Test Runner), a smart To-do list for keeping track of all to-do notes solution-wide (even in closed files), and more.

Full-Featured Visual Basic .NET Support

Full coverage of VB.NET, with multiple features complementing and extending those provided by Microsoft Visual Studio. Enjoy a truly enhanced Visual Studio experience thanks to quick navigation and search, all the major automated code refactorings, full-fledged code assistance, code completion & generation, code templates, context actions, and more.

Cross-Language Functionality Between C# and VB

ReSharper? 3.0 ensures interoperability in working with mixed C# and Visual Basic projects: usage search, refactorings, quick-fixes and context actions take into account all code written in either language.

XML and XAML support

XML features include type completion, various ways to navigate between tags, navigation to referenced types, basic code assistance, and live templates support.

XAML features include XML editing in XAML code, all three types of ReSharper's code completion, several refactorings, and on-the-fly error, syntax and semantic analysis.

dotTrace Profiler 3.0 offers an expanded arsenal of memory and performance profiling tools.

Sampling profiling mode provides much faster, minimum-overhead profiling (at the expense of accuracy), while routine thread profiling achieves greater precision of measurement than ever before.

Other improvements in dotTrace 3.0 include:

Saving individual parts of snapshots (tab saving).

Filtering & folding function call chains in Hot Spots and Back Traces views and filtering function calls in Plain View.

Merging strongly-connected objects.
