#RESHARPER VISUAL STUDIO SHORTCUTS CODE#

Tip вЂ“ If youвЂ™re just starting to use R# with an existing code base, donвЂ™t let the inspections overwhelm you. Gradually the quality of our code base improved and over time the change was dramatic. Each time we modified a file, we would make the necessary changes to turn the R# indicator green (a happy R# makes for a clean code base). Instead of tackling all of these in mass, we decided to follow the boy-scout rule (leave the campground cleaner than you found it) and made sure that we fixed any files as we worked on them. At first the number of warnings (and even errors) was a little overwhelming. When we first started using R#, our solution was already quite large with several projects and lots of code artifacts. However just keep in mind that R# is just a tool to help improve your code, it canвЂ™t actually write if for you so you need to review the suggested changes before making them and verify that all your unit tests still pass. Occasionally it seems to suggest something that doesnвЂ™t make sense or actually causes a compilation or runtime issue.

I think itвЂ™s important to note here that most refactorings R# suggests are great and should be accepted. In these cases we may even add a comment to indicate why we ignored the suggestion. This tells others down the road that we considered the warning and allowed it intentionally. Sometimes we may have a need to ignore an inspection, but in these cases we usually tell R# to suppress the warning so that the code file remains in the green state. In this case we remove the unused variable and the visual indicator for the file shows a green check mark (all clear).ДЄs a general rule, our team tries to keep all of the files we check-in to our source repository вЂњgreenвЂќ so that R# is happy. There is also a high-level assessment of the quality of the code file as an indicator at the top of this bar.Д¬licking this dash quickly shows you the unused variable and gives you options for fixing this issue.

The yellow dash about halfway down indicates where on the scroll of the page the warning resides. You can see in this shot that R# is telling us on the right side of the code file that there are warnings in this file. R# has a nice visual indicator down the side of all your code files that indicates if there are any issue or possible refactorings that it suggests based on its code inspections (according to their site there are over 1300 different inspections): ReSharper Inspections After using this tool for only a short period of time, our team noticed the quality of our code improve quite drastically and even learned some best practices that we were unaware of from the suggestions. In fact, when I consider using a beta or release candidate build of Visual Studio, my first question is whether or not R# is available for use in the new version. IвЂ™ve been using R# from Jet Brains extension for Visual Studio for about three years and consider it a critical part of the IDE.
