An Introduction to JetBrains Rider - Tips and Tricks

An introduction to the JetBrains Rider IDE.

In this video, I introduce Rider, showing lots of keyboard shortcuts for manipulating both the IDE, and also your code. Hint: Alt-Enter is your friend!
I'll be doing a bunch of follow-up Rider videos delving into things like debugging, etc. - so make sure you subscribe and do the bell-thing to be notified when they drop!

Wonderful video Dan. And the new camera is quite awesome. Along with the sick editing like charging the size of your face there when the IDE was not visible surely shows you have been upping the YouTube game. Kudos 👍

my root lang is Python, and the best IDE there is JetBrains' Pycharm, hence using another language while staying on the same Jetbrains' platform is huge selling point for Rider

JetBrains customer for 10 years, full-time Rider user for six. I can't imagine using anything else for .NET development.

Hey man! Thank you! Seems as a good IDE for Linux. Was trying vsCode…. It’s so bad. Thanks one more time!

Rider backend consume high cpu what can I do ?

Appreciate the video - thanks. I might have to try Rider again. Regarding the continuous testing, do you need to save the file for tests to run? It reminds me a lot of the NCrunch extension for VS, which I found to be a game-changer. It didn't even require you to save before it would run tests again - you just had to stop typing for a configurable amount of time. This is useful because you've often changed more than one file so saving one only to find tests failing because you forgot to save all is annoying.

Great video! I didn't know about alt+enter, I've always used a right-click or command+. to get to context menus. But alt+enter is great.

How do you configure continuous testing. I've recently switched (in the last 6 months) to Rider and have been loving it! When I first switched I remember having Cover as an option in my Unit Tests pane, along with being to turn continuous testing on. But at some point I lost the Cover option, and now have not been able to find how to enable continuous testing.

How can I have an API running in the background on Mac with Rider and an app that consumes it that is not in the same project?

Hello sir, does rider for linux support hot reload for zaml code ?

@12:48 - Moving your cursor and putting the semicolon at the end... That drives me mad! What if I *wanted* a semicolon in the wrong place. Or the IDE was wrong and being too assertive. Let me type what I want to type - maybe put a little red squiggle underneath, but don't just automatically move my cursor (or replace what I've already typed with an autocorrection or autosuggestion!). Argh

i am trying out the new primary constructors for c# 12 but getting the error

Invalid option '12' for /langversion. Use '/langversion:?' to list supported values.

while I have my project properties like below.

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">

<PropertyGroup>
<OutputType>Exe</OutputType>


<Nullable>enable</Nullable>

</PropertyGroup>

</Project>
