StyleCop for ReSharper 5.0.14714.1 now available for download

It’s been a long time coming, but it’s finally here. You can now download StyleCop for ReSharper 5.0.14714.1 which works with both Visual Studio 2008 and Visual Studio 2010.

Prerequisites:

Installation:

We are working on upgrading the WiX installer to give users a more seamless installation and upgrade experience, but at the current time we are providing a .CMD file to install the plugin into the correct location. Please pick the appropriate .CMD file for your version of Visual Studio and also remember that YOU MUST UNBLOCK the StyleCop.For.ReSharper.dll (right click > Properties > Unblock) before you run the .CMD file. Windows automatically blocks any executable or dll that is downloaded from the internet and the plugin will not register with ReSharper until it is unblocked.

Also please ensure that you import the StyleCop for ReSharper Code Style Settings file (“Import-StyleCop-for-ReSharper-Code-Style-Settings.xml”). Failure to import this file into ReSharper (ReSharper > Options > Languages > Common > Code Style Settings > Import) will result in Quick Fixes and Code Clean Up Modules not working as expected.

There are essentially no new features in this release – updating the codebase to use the ReSharper 5.0 API was a pretty monumental undertaking. The size and scope of the API changes for ReSharper 5.0 were huge – hats off to the ReSharper team for delivering another great iteration of a great product.

I have taken advantage of some of the new features of the ReSharper 5.0 API – my favourite being the ability to have custom icons for custom Quick Fixes – I took the opportunity to make use of the excellent Silk Icons add a bit of UI polish to StyleCop for ReSharper, for the options dialog:

and Quick Fix Bulb Items:

I think they make StyleCop for ReSharper integrate rather seamlessly into ReSharper.

Work Smart, Not Hard.
