In all versions of Visual Studio is the fact that there’s no copy/paste support for references. You can’t copy a reference from one project to the other.Omer van Kloeten’s add-in for Visual Studio 2005/2003 solve the problem and enable copy and paste a reference even between instances of VS2003 and VS2005.

According to the Jetbrains roadmap the 3.0 release is going to be mostly about adding in Visual Basic.NET support for ReSharper.

The full list of changes for this build:

• The following refactorings work in Visual Basic:
  • Rename
  • Move type to another file
  • Copy type
  • Move static members
  • Introduce variable
• Live templates work in Visual Basic (not all macros work; no bundled templates)
• Type name completion (Control+Alt+Space) works in Visual Basic
• Smart code completion (Control+Shift+Space) works in Visual Basic
• TO-DO Explorer (try ReSharper -> Windows -> To-do Explorer)
• Solution-wide error analysis (enable it by checking the ReSharper -> Options -> Highlighting -> Analyze whole solution checkbox)
• Automatic member reordering (configured at ReSharper -> Options -> Member Order; configuration UI is plain XML for now as the options are not finalized yet)
• More context actions and quickfixes
• Suggestions
  • Make field read-only
  • Make parameter type more specific
• XAML is supported (to the extent of recognizing symbols declared in XAML files and resolving some references; more will come in future builds)
