What's New in ReSharper
ReSharper/ReSharper C++ 2016.3
- Support of Visual Studio 2017 RC, including the new.csproj based.NET Core projects.
- Massive improvements in language injections: JavaScript, CSS, and JSON are supported, ability to inject languages with a comment (
/*language=javascript|html|regexp|jsregexp|json|css*/
), ability to disable automatic language injections in specific cases. - A new Transform Parameters refactoring, which combines and replaces two other refactorings 'Transform Out Parameters' and 'Extract Class from Parameters'.

ReSharper will completely ignore 'skipped' files, and treat 'library' files as read-only – indexed for navigation, but no inspections, quick-fixes and refactorings.
- The Usages of Symbol action lets you switch from the pop-up to the Find Results window before the usage search is over.
- The Find Results window works asynchronously, meaning that you can work with the results tree while a search is in progress.

.less
,.hbs

Lazy<T>
will introduce a property to encapsulatefieldname.Value
. - A new typing assist for interpolated strings: type
$
and ReSharper will automatically complete the$""
and insert the text caret between the quotes. - Join Lines command that quickly appends the next line after the current one.
