Configure ReSharper

Out of the box, ReSharper features have default configurations, which are based on conventions and best practices in the .NET world. However, every feature can be flexibly adjusted according to your needs and preferences.

ReSharper preferences can be configured in the following places:

The main set of ReSharper options is saved using the mechanism of layered settings, which allows you to have different preferences for different solutions and to share the preferences with your team by keeping the desired subset of settings under a VCS. When configuring ReSharper, it is very important to understand the way the mechanism of layered settings work. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to study the Manage and share ReSharper settings topic before you make any significant changes to ReSharper settings.

To configure the main set of ReSharper preferences

  1. In the Visual Studio menu, choose ReSharper | Options.

  2. In the ReSharper options dialog that appears, select a node in the left pane and configure settings in the right pane.

    Use the search field in the left top corner to find a specific preference.

  3. Click Save in the Options dialog to apply the modifications and let ReSharper choose where to save them, or save the modifications to a specific settings layer by choosing this layer from the Save To selector. For more information, see manage and share resharper settings.
