ReSharper, getting started again

AmyLeave a comment

Years ago I used to use ReSharper on a daily basis. Then I left that company and didn’t have easy access to it any more. I missed it. I finally am at a place where I have a copy again. I am in the process of relearning how to use it. Here are a few linking that I found useful:

1. This is ReSharpers PDF file the most used shortcuts
2. Pluralsights “ReSharper Fundamentals” course
3. 24 + 3 ReSharper tips by Rapid Application Development blog
4. A Code Project article with more detailed examples
5. ReSharper documentation of the various functionality

Lazy Programming: Lowercase URLs

AmyLeave a comment

Just so everyone knows, when it comes to programming I prefer to be as lazy as possible. This means that when I got my most recent story to render all routes in lowercase I decided fixing the Routing manually was way too much work. I spent some time on Google and discovered that the built-in lowercase functionality that is built into MVC 4 is broken and its a pain to work around. Instead I am adding a nuget package called LowercaseRoutesMVC to the project. It automatically renders routes in lowercase.  Unfortunately my coworker spent a couple hours yesterday working on updating his code to work manually.

Update: Quote from my boss to the coworker who did it manually yesterday, “hard work sometimes pays off tomorrow but procrastination always pays off immediately.”
