ReSharper

ReSharper brings 20 years of C# expertise to every line of code in Cursor, Google Antigravity, VS Code, and compatible editors. Now, with debugging 🔥

Whether you need a second pair of eyes or guardrails for code generated by AI, ReSharper fits seamlessly into your workflow – all backed by enterprise-grade security, SOC 2 compliance, and the trust of leading companies worldwide.

This powerful toolset will boost your productivity when developing in C#, XAML, Razor, and Blazor, with the powerful debugger, smart code analysis, precise refactorings, quick navigation, NuGet package management, and consistent formatting.

Why ReSharper

Wide compatibility: ReSharper works seamlessly across VS Code and compatible editors, including Cursor and Google Antigravity. Code editors may change, but ReSharper’s always got your back.

Make AI-first workflows production-ready: Ensure your AI-generated code meets professional quality standards. ReSharper helps you review, refine, and ship AI-assisted code with confidence.

More than "good enough": Get an unbeatable set of inspections and refactorings for C#, Razor, Blazor, and XAML to help you keep your code clean, readable, and well-maintained with less effort.

🆕 The Rider debugging engine, in your editor: Get .NET debugging powered by the same engine that has driven JetBrains Rider for years. No extra extensions, no separate setup — just install ReSharper and set a breakpoint.

Powered by JetBrains expertise: Your code quality is backed by 26 years of developer tool innovation and over 20 years of perfecting .NET solutions. That's proven expertise teams worldwide depend on daily.

Proven compliance and security: Your tools are as reliable as the company behind them. JetBrains maintains SOC 2 certification and adheres to industry-leading security standards.

.NET Framework support: Whether your project targets .NET or .NET Framework, ReSharper supports it without compromise.

Key features

The ReSharper extension offers a suite of productivity-enhancing features:

🆕 Debugging allows you to identify the true cause of a bug, beyond just where it crashes. You can pause your code precisely when an issue occurs using various types of breakpoints, such as conditional, hit-count, or dependent ones. By inspecting the live state and watched expressions, you get an accurate view of what the program is actually doing instead of relying solely on log outputs. You can step into and navigate through the call chain to trace the exact execution path, rather than assumptions. This debugging tool works with .NET, .NET Framework, and Mono, including capabilities to attach to running processes. It’s powered by the same engine that drives JetBrains Rider.

The intuitive Solution Explorer gives you a central hub for managing all files, folders, NuGet packages, source generators, and projects in a solution – just like you would have in JetBrains Rider or Microsoft Visual Studio.

Insightful code analysis helps you identify and fix code issues on the fly with real-time recommendations that improve readability and maintainability. ReSharper enforces consistent analysis rules for all members of your team, helping you maintain high code quality in any project.

Advanced navigation and search make it easy to stay oriented and productive, even when you’re working on a complex solution or reviewing unfamiliar code. Jump instantly to types, symbols, files, or usages. You can even go directly to the external sources if a symbol is declared in the system or third-party dependencies of your project.

Reliable unit testing is provided by a powerful C# unit test runner that supports NUnit, xUnit.net, and MSTest. You can easily browse and select tests to run, review detailed output, and navigate directly to the source of failed tests from the results summary.

Comprehensive code refactorings , such as Rename, Extract Method, and Introduce Variable, help you safely restructure code and improve maintainability.

Smart coding assistance helps you write code faster. Reduce boilerplate and increase focus with intelligent completions that are fully aware of your project’s context, including live templates, auto-imports, and built-in documentation support.

Consistent code style keeps 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.

No matter which subscription you use, paid or free, you get access to the whole feature set.

Free non-commercial subscription

The extension offers a free subscription for non-commercial uses, which include learning and self-education, open-source contributions without commercial benefits, content creation (including monetized tutorials, streams, and videos), and hobby projects.

If you’re paid for your development work, or your project is intended to generate commercial benefits, you’ll need a commercial license, which you can learn more about on this dedicated page.

Paid commercial subscription

This extension is available with a ReSharper, dotUltimate, or All Products Pack subscription. You can review the pricing options here.

First steps

1. Install ReSharper from your preferred marketplace.
2. Open a workspace/folder in your VS Code-compatible editor.
3. ReSharper will automatically detect any .sln/.slnx/.slnf (solution) files or a csproj file in the folder:

• 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 recommendation

ReSharper for Visual Studio Code includes code completion, code analysis, and quick fixes that may overlap with Microsoft C# and C# Dev Kit extensions. To avoid confusion from overlapping features and to get the full ReSharper experience, we recommend disabling the Microsoft extensions while evaluating ReSharper.

Note that debugging is an exception: VS Code allows only one extension to be registered as the debug engine for C#. If another extension that provides C# debugging capabilities (for example, C# Dev Kit) is installed and enabled, the ReSharper debugger will not be available. To debug with ReSharper, disable or uninstall other C# debugging extensions and reload your editor. All other features can run alongside other extensions without technical limitations.
