Resharper 2.0 build 215 is much better than 214. It may be worth the risk – level 200

I tried out Resharper 2.0 build
214 (alpha), and it wasn’t stable enough for me to work. There
were the known hanging problems every time you turned around, and I had
to uninstall it.

I’ve just installed build 215, and it appears that a lot of the bugs have been fixed. I still use Resharper 1.5 with VS 2003, but with my VS 2005 projects, I missed the quick shortcuts for refactoring and code generation, so I’m risking the alpha.

I’m not uninstalling this one. 215 is “good enough” right now to
boost my productivity. 2.0 has NUnit test-running capability
through a UI widget, but I find that I still prefer the crude text
output of TestDriven.Net.

Bottom line: If you are very used to Resharper 1.5, and you are
working with VS 2005, give build 215 a shot. It’s working for
me. P.S. Remember to turn off VS intellisense.

Cool. I’ll give it a shot … I miss it in VS 2005 … … thanks for being the crash test dummy 🙂

215 appeared OK at first, but I ended up uninstalling it. After a while it used up far too much memory. The refactoring and intellisense, as well as VS2K5, just got slower and slower, and ended up frustrating more than it helped. I think when I finally gave up and uninstalled my devenv was taking up over 400 MB.

I can’t wait until the RTM. I really miss ReSharper in VS2K5.

I had an error when I loaded VS.NET, lots of slowdowns due to what I think is memory consumption (over 450MB for me) and then another error when I shut down VS.NET. Ugh.

Too bad they didn’t have this product ready when VS.NET was released. I really miss it.

DevExpress works with VS.NET 2005, and I think it is still a step behind Resharper but I am going to give it a shot again at least until Resharper has a RTM.

I have essentially given up on waiting for ReSharper and installed CodeRush and Refactor! Pro, too. Productivity is just too important in my day-to-day development.

Hmm – I had the opposite experience, though I was using it with VS 2003: http://austegard.blogspot.com/2006/01/resharper-215-stay-away.html

I’m back running build 165 again.

Some shameless self-promition, then: I’ve been running an updated post about the ReSharper EAP for over half a year. It’s constantly updated so if anyone wants to know about the latest builds, here’s the URL: http://www.tomergabel.com/ReSharper+New+And+Improved.aspx
