ReSharper for VS Code version 2026.2 now includes a built-in .NET debugger powered by the same engine as JetBrains Rider. The post argues that debugging alone is reactive and insufficient — a productive workflow requires proactive static analysis. It showcases ReSharper's 2,500+ code inspections (catching issues like async void anti-patterns and dictionary double-lookups), semantic rename refactoring that safely updates all symbol references across a solution, and fast navigation shortcuts. Together with the new debugger, the extension now covers the full .NET development lifecycle inside VS Code.
