Using Roslyn refactorings with OmniSharp and Visual Studio Code

One of the features that we added to a recent OmniSharp release (which, as a reminder, backs the C# language services in various editors), and that quietly shipped in C# for Visual Studio Code 1.10.0 last week, was the ability to use external Roslyn refactorings.

Before, OmniSharp shipped with some built-in Roslyn refactorings (i.e. move type to file) but this new feature allows a user to import custom refactorings – either self- or 3rd-party built.

It’s still an experimental feature, so it needs to be switched on manually, but hopefully it can provide you some much neeeded productivity boost.

Let’s have a look at how that’s done.

OmniSharp Canada Tour 2016

I’ve said it a couple of times already, but I sincerely believe that the OmniSharp project is one of the most important projects in the history of .NET.

Having an alternative to the “dictatorship” of Visual Studio is fundamentally important to the health of the .NET ecosystem, and OmniSharp has done a tremendous job in that sense (thanks, Jason & David). Fro my side, I’ve been trying to support the project as much as I can – by contributing, speaking or blogging about it, trying to spread the love.

This winter I managed to put together a mini tour of Canada with an OmniSharp session. Later this month, and in early March, I’m gonna do 3 talks on the project, and in general doing C# without Visual Studio:

If you happen to be in the area – hope to see you there! I promise it’s gonna be fun!
