What it is
ReSharper provides coding assistance and code quality tools for .NET development. It analyzes C#, VB.NET, XAML, ASP.NET, HTML, and XML as code is written, with editing features such as extended IntelliSense, code transformations, namespace imports, code rearrangement, and documentation display. Developers can generate properties, overloads, implementations, and comparers, and apply refactorings across a solution or to smaller code sections. Navigation tools move among files, types, and members and can follow symbols to usages, related base or derived symbols, and implementations. Other tools include a unit test runner, code templates, debugging assistance, project dependency viewing, and internationalization assistance. The VS Code edition also works in Cursor, Antigravity IDE, Devin Desktop, Kiro IDE, and other compatible editors. It runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux on x64 and ARM64, including Apple silicon on macOS, and requires a .NET SDK version 6.0 or later on PATH. A free 30-day trial begins after installation. Afterward, use requires a commercial license or a free non-commercial license. The commercial plan costs $389 a year per user; non-commercial C# support in VS Code and compatible editors is free.
