It's not quite cheap for me (149 USD). I tried it and I loved it though. The most cool thing for me is refactoring to LINQ. So I was wondering if there is a cheaper alternative that can do that same - refactor my loops into smaller LINQ ones?

  • +1 Just uninstalled resharper trial for the same reason. Cool, but not 300.00 commercial license cool. Maybe if I learned to use the advanced features it would be worth it, but I can't justify learning more crap for a product that's supposed to make life easier. – P.Brian.Mackey Jan 05 '11 at 20:45

    I think ReSharper is worth the money, but a good question anyways. – driis Jan 05 '11 at 20:45

    You can get the C# edition for $149 – Chris Kooken Jan 05 '11 at 20:47

DevXpress Refactor! Pro is similar, and is $99 per license.

Telerik also makes a refactoring add-in, but it's more expensive ($199).

If you qualify for an academic license, you can get ReSharper cheaper. They even offer free licenses for Open Source projects.

    I have to point out that I've tried Refactor! Pro and it does tend to be a little buggy and slow. It's great, and works most of the time, but recently I stopped paying for the subscription and have gone back to stock Visual Studio. It stinks that I'm missing out of the tools it provides, but it's nice to have a fast, reliable Visual Studio again. Note: Never tried ReSharper. – Phil Jan 05 '11 at 20:57

    ReSharper's definitely worth a trial run. It's one of those things that once you have it you wonder how you programmed without it. – KeithS Jan 05 '11 at 21:09
  • @Phil: +1. Can't agree more. I like vertical lines but god it makes things crawling! – Schultz9999 Jan 05 '11 at 23:27
  • @driis: I don't see Refactor! providing loops to LINQ refactoring. – Schultz9999 Jan 05 '11 at 23:28
  • +1 for mentioning academic and open-source license options -- I always forget about those. – Joe White Jan 06 '11 at 23:20

    DevExpress also offers a completely FREE CodeRush Xpress for C# and VB - http://www.devexpress.com/crx – Alex Skorkin Jan 07 '11 at 21:05
