A brief description about features of R#

1. Pratik Patel
Technical Consultant (.NET Consultant)

2.  VisualStudio.NET has following limitations:
 Less code navigation features
 Less code generation features
 Less code refactoring features
 Less code searching features
 Less code review features
 Developers have to take a lot of pain while
performing above operations in VS.NET E.g. If a
developer wants to navigate to particular file
(.cs or .js) then he has to manually navigate to
particular project and select the file.
 R# gives file search based on the filename

3.  Developer can navigate anywhere within the
solution using keyboard shortcuts using R#
 Developer can review his code during
development phase itself using R# suggestions
 Developer need not have to remember the
method signatures. The appropriate stub is
generated automatically by R#
 Better unit testing support
 Large number of users and community support
 Supports VS2010, VS2008, VS2005 and VS2003
 One-stop static code analysis tool

15.  Reduced number of clicks to find the particular
file/code/symbol. This may increase the developer’s
productivity and efficiency by 20-25%
 Less headache on developer to remember the
filename and location of each and every file. The
search can narrow down to a particular symbol
(variable) inside the entire solution
 Easily navigate through all the code areas without
having to know everything at once
 Mitigate the risk of code failures at early stages using
quick fix, code reviews and static analysis of the code
 Applying the organization-wide code review rules and
ensures all those are implemented in the code
