Clean up your code with GitHub Action. Save your time from having to do a code review and make corrections and also from having to enter a commit message each time. The commit with the changes is created automatically.

Reading application’s logs is not a big fun but let’s be honest – it is part of our job and we will not avoid it. So why don’t we make it slightly more pleasant? Stack traces explorers to the rescue! In fact, I didn’t know about the existence of stack trace explorers till the day I copied a part of app’s log to my clipboard with the plan to send it to the colleague. But when I opened Visual Studio a magic happened, fairytales flew on my desk and opened a new tab in my IDE.

Some time ago I was trying to find a good extension to Chrome that would let me go to recent tab same as for example R# does it with files (or Alt+Tab for Windows). The outcome was rather poor so I decided to write my own extension (it’s called Omnicomplete). It does even more and is available on GitHub. Now I use it dozens of times a day and I can recommend it wholeheartedly.

Some people used to say that a good programmer doesn’t need to debug his own code. However, sometimes we have a problem with third party libraries usage, for example: there is insufficient documentation or the module contains some bugs. Visual Studio has excellent debugging toolset but this is totally useless without symbols and sources (and this is often the case with third party libraries). Thanks to Reshaper decompiler this shouldn’t be a problem anymore. Before we start debugging we should make so...

Powiedzmy, że mamy projekt, w którym wcześniej nie znano Resharpera. Otwierając taki kod „wszystko świeci” na różne kolory sugerując, że mamy w kodzie wiele problemów. Moje doświadczenie programistyczne mówi mi, że warto wysprzątać te miejsca, ponieważ na wstępnie z automatu poprawi się nam wiele bugów i znacznie zwiększy czytelność. I tutaj staje się przed problemem ...

Kiedy programujemy w C#, w większości przypadków jesteśmy skazani na Visual Studio. Czy słyszał ktoś kiedy o alternatywie? Jakiś czas temu, całkiem przypadkiem, natrafiłem na Rider – nowe IDE dla .NET od JetBrains. Jest on wciąż w trakcie powstawania, jednak stwierdziłem, że warto sprawdzić czy jest na co czekać. Testowany przeze mnie build to:  EAP build 20. Narzędzie jest multiplatformowe, więc testowałem na Windowsie i macOS...

ReSharper is a great Visual Studio extension but without the knowledge about its shortcuts and other tricks, it’s completely useless. That’s why I decided to write about the most popular features. Of course, it’s not a full list, but you may find some of the below helpful.

Static analysis is a powerful feature of Visual Studio that helps us to spot syntax and semantic errors in our code. It works very well on currently edited file and runs on the whole solution as one of the compilation stages. But it would be a waste of time to run compilation every time you make changes that affect code outside currently edited file, only to check that you didn't cause any compilation errors. Luckily, Resharper comes to the rescue with...

Ciekawym pomysłem na wydajniejszą (tak, jeszcze większą! :)) pracę z kodem jest dodatek do ReSharpera o nazwie Postfix. Idea polega na uzupełnianiu kodu w oparciu o różne wzorce, tzw. postfix, które pojawiają się po napisaniu naszego kodu. Innymi słowy, jest to połączenie „surround templates” i resharperowego Quick Fix (Alt+Enter). Postfix uzupełniamy jednak klawiszem Tab.

Everyone who has ever tried to create multilingual application knows, that this is very tedious task. The most repetitive work is usually moving hard-coded strings to resource files. Fortunately with Resharper this is definitelly less painfull than usuall. In order to point out localizable parts of application , it is necessary to decorate classes with System.ComponentModel.LocalizableAttribute. However, usually we want to localize an entire program, so more universal solution is to set appropria...
