ReSharper is a Visual Studio Add-on that enhances development. I recently used a trial version. Although I liked it, I did not end up purchasing it. The unistall procedure was not at all obvious. First I looked at the ReSharper menu in Visual Studio. Next I looked in the Start menu for a ReSharper group. Nada. Then I looked under Program Files, seeking an uninstall (or install) program. Still nothing. Finally I re-downloaded the MSI package and launched it. It asked my if I wanted to Repair / Remove, and I choose Remove.
At this point, I had unistalled ReSharper. Unfortunately, Visual Studio’s built-in intellisense was broken. I found a solution that fixed the problem for me. In the command prompt, drill down to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE, and execute the following three commands:
- devenv /setup
- devenv /resetuserdata
- devenv /resetsettings CSharp
That will leave your IDE in a clean state. Unfortunately you will find that all of your user settings are gone, but hey, at least intellisense works!
UPDATE
JetBrains finally got back to me on restoring Intellisense. Looks like I used the brute force way of restoring things. They said:
… “Meanwhile to restore IntelliSense please open Tools > Options > Text Editor > C# > General tab and make sure ‘Auto-list members’ and ‘Parameter Information’ options are turned on.” …
Apparently JetBrains has trouble with their credit card processing (why I didn’t buy). I may end up getting ReSharper if a salesperson contacts me. I know I have really, really missed it the last few days.
