# The Ultimate .NET Workflow for Cursor, Antigravity, and AI-First Editors

**[JetBrains .NET Blog](https://daily.dev/sources/jetbrains-dotnet)** · 4 min read · 18 upvotes · 3 comments

## Summary

JetBrains has released ReSharper 2026.2 as a VS Code-compatible extension, bringing full .NET tooling — including a debugger, static analysis, refactoring, and unit test running — to AI-first editors like Cursor, Google Antigravity IDE, Devin Desktop, and Kiro. Previously, .NET developers using these editors had to maintain a separate IDE window for debugging and navigation. The extension installs via a single command (`ext install JetBrains.resharper-code`), is available on both the VS Code Marketplace and Open VSX Registry, and includes a free 30-day trial. JetBrains positions this as the most complete .NET option available in these AI-first editors.

## Questions this post answers

### How do I get a .NET debugger and C# code analysis in Cursor or Kiro?

Install the ReSharper extension (`ext install JetBrains.resharper-code`) from the Open VSX Registry. As of the 2026.2 release, it brings a full .NET debugger, static analysis, refactoring, navigation, and unit test running into Cursor, Google Antigravity IDE, Devin Desktop, and Kiro — eliminating the need to keep a separate IDE open. A free 30-day trial starts automatically on install.

### Is ReSharper available as a VS Code extension for AI-first editors like Cursor?

Yes. ReSharper is available as a VS Code-compatible extension on both the Visual Studio Code Marketplace and the Open VSX Registry. The Open VSX version targets Cursor, Google Antigravity IDE, Devin Desktop, Kiro, and other compatible editors. The 2026.2 release added a .NET debugger, making it the most complete .NET tooling option in these editors.

> ext install as the distribution model is underrated tbh, way lower friction than downloading a custom VS Code fork. more tools should ship this way instead of building yet another IDE.

> Debugger startup and large-solution indexing would be my first tests before moving a .NET team into one editor.
