Insightful code analysis

Identify and fix code issues on the fly with real-time recommendations that improve readability and maintainability. ReSharper enforces consistent analysis rules across your entire team, helping you maintain high code quality in any project.

Smart coding assistance

Write code faster with intelligent completions that are fully aware of your project’s context. Use live templates, auto-imports, and built-in documentation support to reduce boilerplate and increase focus.

Intuitive Solution Explorer

Work with large codebases more easily using ReSharper’s Solution Explorer for VS Code. Navigate, group, and manage files more efficiently – just like you would in JetBrains Rider or Microsoft Visual Studio.

Precise Rename refactoring

Safely rename symbols across your project while automatically detecting and correcting conflicts. Refactor with confidence and keep your codebase clean and error-free.

Easy navigation

Jump instantly to types, symbols, files, or usages. Whether you’re working on a complex solution or reviewing unfamiliar code, ReSharper makes it easy to stay oriented and productive.

Consistent code style

Keep your code consistent with your team’s style guide. ReSharper automatically formats and indents your code as you type, ensuring clarity and uniformity without manual cleanup.

First steps

1. Install ReSharper for Visual Studio Code from the Marketplace.
2. Open a workspace/folder in VS Code.
3. ReSharper will automatically detect any .sln./slnx (solution) files in the workspace:

• If only one solution is found, it will open automatically.
• If multiple solutions are found, click the Open Solution button in a popup menu to choose which one to open.

Compatibility notice

ReSharper for Visual Studio Code is not compatible with the Microsoft C# and C# Dev Kit extensions. To ensure smooth operation, make sure both are disabled before using ReSharper.
