ReSharper 5.0 Released
Along with VS2010 JetBrains released new version of favourite tool ReSharer 5.0
Compared to previous versions, ReSharper 5.0 has evolved in four major directions:
- Web Development. We have greatly extended the toolset available to ASP.NET developers when they work with markup files and web site infrastructure. ASP.NET MVC developers get a bonus in additional code inspections, syntax highlighting, navigation, and code completion for controllers and actions.
- Project Maintenance. ReSharper becomes a valuable assistant not only to individual developers but to teams working with large, complicated projects. It helps them view, change and maintain project structure.
- Support for Visual Studio 2010. ReSharper 5.0 provides support for the new Visual Studio version earlier than ever. Of course, Visual Studio 2005 and 2008 are supported, too.
- Code Analysis. This area incorporates several improvements, including "plainly" implementing a substantial pack of new code inspections; the opportunity to get an overview of all code smells in solution; upgrading
foreach and for loops to LINQ queries; and letting you track how data values and method calls are passed through your code.
Other enhancements include extended IntelliSense, bookmarking, native NUnit support, and more.

ReSharper for Visual Studio 2010 (Preview)
Finally JetBrains launched ReSharper v.5.0 for VS2010 after a month delay against previous announce.
Installation it self should be a bit tricky. First of all download a nightly build of ReSharper from
ReSharper EAP - ReSharper for Visual Studio 2010 (Preview). The download links are located at the very end of the page.
1) Before you click on downloaded .vsix file I highly recommend to click on "Load extensions from my local application data folder" in Tools/Options, Extension Manager menu.
2) Close all your VS2010 instances
3) After that click on downloaded .vsix file, following installation dialog.
4) Start VS2010 and open Tools | Extensions Manager menu and confirm that ReSharper is there
5) Maybe you will meet with registration of evaluation period during VS2010 start up. Basically evaluation period should start automatically, if not use following credentials: (this will provide you a temporary license till 07/23/2009). I heard that keys from ReSharper 4.5 are working as well.
User Name: VS2010Beta1
License Key: 0-dY16Cav/tdLePfqRzD2kp37wt2HXosbp
