Rider 2024.1.2

JetBrains Rider is a fast and powerful cross-platform IDE for .NET, built on the IntelliJ platform and ReSharper. JetBrains Rider enables development of .NET, ASP.NET, .NET Core, Xamarin, and Unity applications on Windows, Mac, and Linux. This IDE supports the development of .NET Framework, .NET Core, and Mono applications, including .NET applications, services and libraries, Unity-based games, ASP.NET and ASP.NET Core web applications. Rider features a professional code editor, problem resolution tools, code refactoring options, testing capabilities, and an integrated debugger and decompiler.

Support for Various .NET Projects

Rider supports .NET Framework, the new .NET Core platform, and Mono-based projects. The IDE allows development of desktop applications, .NET services and libraries, Unity-based games, Xamarin mobile applications, and ASP.NET and ASP.NET Core web applications.

Speed and Functionality

Rider offers over 2200 code inspections, hundreds of context actions and refactorings borrowed from ReSharper, combined with the advanced functionality of IntelliJ-based development environments. Despite its extensive feature set, Rider remains a fast and responsive IDE.

Cross-Platform IDE

Rider not only runs and debugs various applications across different operating systems but also works on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Code Editing

Rider’s intelligent editor provides various types of code completion and templates, automatically inserts matching brackets, and imports missing namespaces. Tips and icons in the margins help navigate the inheritance hierarchy, and context actions make development convenient and efficient.

Refactoring

Rider inherits over 60 refactorings from ReSharper and offers more than 450 context actions for various purposes. Refactorings make it easy to rename and extract methods, interfaces, and classes, move and copy types, use alternative syntax, and perform other transformations.

Unit Testing Tool

Rider assists in running and debugging unit tests with NUnit, xUnit.net, and MSTest. ReSharper helps explore tests, group them by sessions, view test results, and navigate to the source code from the stack trace.

Debugger and Other Tools

The built-in debugger for .NET Framework, Mono, and .NET Core applications supports step-by-step execution, allows evaluating expressions on the fly, running the program from the current line to the cursor, and tracking and changing variable values. Additionally, Rider includes a NuGet browser, allows viewing stack traces, supports various version control systems, and databases.

Working with Databases and SQL

You can work with SQL and databases directly in the IDE. Rider helps connect to databases, edit schemas and tables, execute queries, and analyze schemas with UML diagrams.

Frontend Technology Support

Rider supports jаvascript, TypeScript, HTML, CSS, and Sass. The IDE includes refactoring, debugging, and unit testing capabilities from WebStorm specifically for these technologies.

Extensions

Rider supports a wide range of plugins developed for ReSharper and the IntelliJ platform. Built-in plugins provide support for F#, Unity, and version control systems.
