Our major .NET offer is ReSharper — the leading productivity tool for .NET developers which fully integrates with Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, 2008, or 2010, and helps improve C#, VB.NET, ASP.NET, XML, or XAML code. ReSharper provides continuous .NET code quality analysis by instantly highlighting errors and code smells in your Visual Studio solution and providing quick-fixes. ReSharper advocates best development and design practices with over 35 global cross-language code refactorings, hundreds of mini-refactorings, code formatting and cleanup. Superior unit testing tools, navigation and search features, automatic code generation and templates complete the picture of a cutting-edge productivity tool that empowers any .NET developer.
