DotRush

Overview

C# Development Environment for Visual Studio Code

DotRush is a VSCode extension for .NET C# developers designed to unlock various IDE capabilities. DotRush helps you organize multiple projects and includes features for code editing, refactoring and error detection. Even in the most extensive projects, DotRush is a resource-friendly companion, ensuring you stay productive and focused.

Features

DotRush simplifies code navigation and refactoring with these quick actions:

Go To Definition
Find all the symbol definitions in your project.
Go To Type Definition
Find all the symbol type definitions in your project.
Go To Implementation
Find all implementations of your virtual method or interface.
Go To References

Renaming
Rename a class or variable by placing a cursor on it and pressing F2 (by default).
Code Formatting
You can format the entire document or selected code blocs.

IntelliSense in Multi-Target Projects

DotRush offers IntelliSense for multiple Target Frameworks. For example, when you're working on a cross-platform application and your current target framework is Android, DotRush provides IntelliSense capabilities for iOS, too.

Cross-Platform Error Detection

DotRush highlights errors and displays descriptions in all Target Frameworks used in your project.

Multiple Project Management

Empowering you with Code Workspaces DotRush lets you effortlessly combine multiple projects and apply different settings to them. DotRush seamlessly activates all features when you add a new folder to your workspace. Note that .sln files are not supported.

Quick Fixes

Activate error quick fixes by hovering over an error or clicking on the lamp icon:

Code Decompiling

When navigating to a class not included in your project, DotRush will decompile it with ICSharpCode Decompiler, allowing you to explore external libraries.

Code Quality Analysis

Integrate code quality analyzers into your project, and DotRush will highlight suggestions from these analyzers. This is disabled by default, but you can enable the Enable Roslyn Analyzers option in the settings of the extension.
