Build

Description

Custom Dotnet Cli Path

Use custom .NET CLI executable path

The path to the .NET CLI tools executable is detected automatically, but you can specify a path to a custom installation if your setup requires it.

Custom Mono Path

Use custom Mono executable path

You will need a Mono executable if you want to build .NET projects on macOS. By default, ReSharper automatically detects Mono executable on your machine. You can specify a custom path for a non-standard location.

Custom Msbuild Path

Use custom MSBuild path

By default, ReSharper will use the latest MSBuild version found on your machine. You can specify a custom path to use another version or if the MSBuild executable is in a non-standard location.

Restore Packages On Build

Restore NuGet packages before build

When this checkbox is selected, ReSharper will restore NuGet packages for all projects in the current solution . Note that this option requires .NET Framework 4.5 or later to be installed on your machine.

Smart Nuget Restore

Run NuGet restore on build if needed

Use Resharper Build

Use ReSharper build engine

If this checkbox is selected, ReSharper for Visual Studio Code will optimize build process with ReSharper Build, which tracks changes in your solution and only rebuilds modified projects and necessary dependencies.
