How ReSharper helps Visual Studio users
Analyze code quality
On-the-fly code quality analysis is available in C#, VB.NET, XAML, ASP.NET, ASP.NET MVC, JavaScript, TypeScript, CSS, HTML, and XML. You'll know right away if your code needs to be improved.
Eliminate errors and code smells
Not only does ReSharper warn you when there's a problem in your code but it provides hundreds of quick-fixes to solve problems automatically. In almost every case, you can select the best quick-fix from a variety of options.
Safely change the code base
Automated solution-wide code refactorings help you safely change your code base. Whether you need to revitalize legacy code or put your project structure in order, you can rely on ReSharper.
Instantly traverse the entire solution
You can instantly navigate and search through the whole solution. Jump to any file, type, or type member, or navigate from a specific symbol to its usages, base and derived symbols, or implementations.
Enjoy code editing helpers
Multiple code editing helpers including extended IntelliSense, hundreds of instant code transformations, auto-importing namespaces, rearranging code, and displaying documentation.

formatting functionality with fine-tuned, language-specific settings will help you get

ReSharper makes Visual Studio a much better IDE
Code analysis
ReSharper extends Visual Studio with over 2200 on-the-fly code inspections for C#, VB.NET, ASP.NET, JavaScript, TypeScript and other technologies. For most inspections, ReSharper provides quick-fixes (light bulbs) to improve the code.
Find and remove unused code? Migrate your code to the latest C# version? Convert loops to LINQ at will? Find and prevent possible exceptions? Use a common naming standard? All that and a lot more code improvements are made possible with ReSharper's code analysis.
Refactorings
60+ refactorings and 450+ context actions help safely organize code and move it around the solution, distribute responsibility, decouple, decrease complexity, or simply use alternative language syntax.
Navigation and search
ReSharper helps instantly get to any code in a solution, no matter how large the solution is. It can also navigate you from any symbol to its related code such as implementations of a given interface, extension methods of a class, or usages of a field.
Code formatting and cleanup
Configure and apply code style based on your personal preferences or your team standard. Code style and formatting settings for C#, VB.NET, ASP.NET, JavaScript, TypeScript and other languages can be applied in any scope, from a selection to a solution.
Code generation
ReSharper can create a lot of code for you: from new files and classes to conditional blocks and GUIDs; from methods and properties required by an interface being implemented to equality checks and formatting members.

Why upgrade to ReSharper 2021.2
Code Analysis
There are several new inspections with quick-fixes, like Swap via deconstruction,
Replace empty array creation with Array.Empty<T>, and
Replace new EventArgs() with EventArgs.Empty. ReSharper now also takes into
account the generated_code property from .editorconfig, allowing it to
mark files or folders as generated code and exclude them from processing.
Nullable Reference Types
A huge update has arrived for nullable reference types support!
ReSharper indicates suppressions (!) that are no longer needed and that can be safely removed.
ReSharper has introduced a new refactoring to change nullability. It will update nullability annotations and suggest propagating the changes throughout your codebase.
There are also several new inspections with corresponding quick-fixes available when using JetBrains.Annotations attributes and nullable reference types are enabled.
Source Generator Support
In ReSharper 2021.2, many of the features available for manually-written code files are available for source-generated files, as well. We’ve improved editor support, enhanced the debugger, and added support for Solution-Wide Analysis (SWEA) and refactorings.

I love ReSharper! Its code suggestions routinely help me write better C#/VB.NET code.
All I can say is I love it. If you don't use ReSharper, drop what you are doing and go out and buy it!
ReSharper is an awesome tool. If you're using it you probably agree and if you aren't you should be. The productivity gains are incredible.
The ultimate Agile tool is ReSharper. Refactoring is just so darn easy that change isn't scary.
