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.
