As a .NET Developer I use an addin called Resharper for Visual Studio 2003 and 2005. It’s made by a company called JetBrains, which also happens to make a very power Java IDE called IntelliJ IDEA.

At it’s current state, Grasshopper doesn’t play well with Resharper, but we’ve find out what the problems are and we’re working hard on releasing a service pack for Grasshopper in the coming weeks that will address this problem and other problems found. Like any product that has to play well with other products in a host environment, there are many things to consider, and working well with other addins is now considered top priority.

I’m working on my machine with an internal build which plays very well with the latest version of Resharper (3.0). The problems used to be mainly around being able to right click on a regular .NET project and selecting “Generate Java EE project”. Resharper would just hang, start throwing various exceptions and in some cases even crash visual studio.

If you’ve tried GH and found this problem, it should be fixed in our upcoming service pack (as I said, a couple of weeks from now we hope).

If you have other addins that you feel aren’t working well with Grasshopper, feel free to either comment on this post or use the forums to see if there is a fix for it.
