ReSharper provides you with several ways to quickly make changes in your code where they are needed most. Thanks to its on-the-fly code analysis, ReSharper detects special places in the code that need your attention and gives you options to correct or modify code behavior. This functionality is provided in these two similar features:
- Quick-Fixes help you solve serious problems that lead to compilation errors.
- Context Actions help you make situational code modifications that one is likely to want to perform in a certain code context.
Context Actions are a new feature in ReSharper 2.0. A large number of new Quick-Fixes have been added as well.
When a Quick-Fix or a Context Action is available, you will see a small lightbulb icon at the left side of the current line.
-
-
red lightbulb -
- stands for a Quick-Fix (or several of them). -
yellow lightbulb -

Both Quick-Fixes and Context Actions can also be invoked with the shortcut Alt + Enter.
