ReSharper 7 supports Visual Studio 2012 and simplifies the development of Metro applications.

A public release of ReSharper 7, a new version of the well-known extension for Microsoft Visual Studio, took place.

ReSharper 7 provides full support for Visual Studio 2012, while maintaining compatibility with versions of Visual Studio 2005, 2008 and 2010. In addition, ReSharper 7 contains extensive functionality that is important for teams developing applications for Windows 8 and WinRT - the latest operating system and runtime environment from Microsoft.

ReSharper 7 is also useful for those developers who are not going to switch to Visual Studio 2012 yet. Among the new functionality available in all supported versions of Visual Studio is a set of code inspections and automatic fixes; new refactorings, including Extract Class to simplify the code; New ways to visualize and study the code; as well as contract annotations that help adapt code quality analysis to agreements adopted in a specific development team.

“With this release we want to help .NET-developers who intend to quickly move to developing Metro-applications on the Windows 8 platform. The sooner companies start publishing applications on the Windows 8 Marketplace, the more profit they will receive. ReSharper will allow them to speed up development for Windows 8, ”says Ilya Ryzhenkov, ReSharper product manager.“ On the other hand, ReSharper 7 is good for those who are developing more traditional .NET applications — it offers new ways of refactoring, tracking and learning code, not to mention the improved support for certain languages, including XAML, JavaScript and VB.NET.

The list of major innovations in ReSharper 7 is as follows:

• Full integration with Visual Studio 2012 while maintaining support for the three previous versions of Visual Studio: 2005, 2008 and 2010.
• Extensive feature set for developers looking to build Metro apps for Windows 8.
• New code inspections and annotations to improve the quality control of .NET application code.
• New automatic refactorings code, including widely demanded Extract Class refactoring to simplify the code.
• Additional code learning opportunities associated with visualizing hierarchies of polymorphic members of CSS classes and styles.
• New and improved code generation commands.
• Support for working with the INotifyPropertyChanged interface, which simplifies the work of developers of Windows Forms, WPF and Silverlight applications.
• Remove unnecessary references to assemblies across the entire solution.
• Advanced tools for web developers, including improved support for the JavaScript language, as well as basic support for ASP.NET 4.5 and ASP.NET MVC 4.
• Support for two additional development technologies from Microsoft: LightSwitch and SharePoint.
