If you have downloaded and installed Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 and really need to have ReSharper, you can check out the ReSharper 5.0 Nightly Builds that have initial support for Visual Studio 2010 beta 2. Note that nightly builds are pre-release software so you can pretty much expect bugs and other problems when installing it. However, if you can't live without ReSharper while using Visual Studio 2010, the nightly builds are your ownly answer.
Speaking of ReSharper 5.0, not only do you get initial Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 support but you also get some other nice features. Per the ReSharper 5.0 blog:
- External Sources: When no sources are available, ReSharper does a decent job of reconstructing types’ structure from metadata for your browsing pleasure.
- Sturctured Patterns: With ReSharper 5 you can set up your own code patterns, search for them, replace them, include them in code analysis, and even use quick-fixes to replace!
- Project Refactoring and Dependencies View: With ReSharper 5, you can move files and folders between projects; synchronize namespaces to folder structure in any scope - as large as your solution; safely delete obsolete subsystems without going type by type; and split a file with lots of types created from usages into their own dedicated files - in one go. We have also added a special project dependencies view to help you track down excessive dependencies between projects and eliminate them.
- Call Tracking: Find usages, find usages, find usages. Formerly, attempting to track call sequences in code could end up with lost context, lots of Find Results windows and, ultimately, frustration. With ReSharper 5, you can inspect an entire call sequence in a single window.
- Value Tracking: At any point in your source code, select a variable, parameter, field or property and ask ReSharper to inspect it. You will then see how its value flows through your program, back to its sources or straight to consumers.
- Internalionalization: ReSharper 5 greatly simplifies working with resources by providing a full stack of features for ResX files and resource usages in C# and VB.NET code, as well as in ASP.NET and XAML markup.
