Plug-ins for ReSharper

Looking at the big picture, there's more to ReSharper than its own extensive set of features. ReSharper API offers a rich platform for developing intelligent plug-ins. These plug-ins provide support for additional unit testing frameworks, implement special-purpose refactorings, validate naming conventions, and perform many more tasks which any .NET developer will find useful. Here's the list of plug-ins that you can use right away:
