Resharper 2.0 is available now!
My favourite tool in Visual Studio 2003 has always been JetBrains' Resharper. A couple of months ago we converted our application to the .NET 2.0 framework and Visual Studio 2005. Although VS 2005 now has some of the refactoring and analysis features that Resharper offered, it is nowhere near as powerful. So I was really happy to see that JetBrains was developing Resharper 2.0 for VS 2005. That happiness rapidly disappeared after installing the beta. It was really buggy and therefore impossible to use.
The last time I installed a beta was just 2 or 3 weeks ago and it still was not good enough to use in my daily work. The biggest problem was the static code analysis that got really confused when the same classname was used in different namespaces. Meanwhile I tried other tools like Omnicore's JustCode, but they just aren't as good as Resharper.
Today I read on Scott Guthrie's Blog that the final verion had been released, so I decided to give a last try. And guess what... it works perfectly. Nomore stange analysis errors, no more empty code completion boxes... And the best thing is: 1.5 users get a free upgrade to 2.0!
So, I'm a happy coder again
