ReSharper is a refactoring and productivity extension by JetBrains that extends native functionality of Microsoft Visual Studio 2003, 2005, 2008 and 2010.
ReSharper executes solution-wide static code analysis (error detection on-the-fly, without the need to compile), provides additional features for error correction, code completion, navigation, search, syntax highlighting, formatting, code generation and optimization, carries out 40 automated refactorings, and streamlines unit testing using NUnit and MSTest, among other features.
The current major version 6.0, was released in 2011. It supports C# 4.0, VB10, ASP.NET, ASP.NET MVC, Razor, XML, XAML, MSBuild and NAnt build scripts.
