We're so excited to present to you some of our students' work from the 2020-2021 school year! This has been an impossibly difficult year, but our students rose to the challenge of online education to produce some truly gorgeous artwork. We'd normally display this work in our critique space, but we decided to bring this year's show online. Visual Studio Enterprise subscribers can receive a $150 monthly credit for Azure Services. Try out different services, experiment, and learn.
-->The steps to sign in to your Visual Studio subscription depend on the kind of account you're using. For example, you may be using a Microsoft Account (MSA) or an email address supplied by your employer or school. As of January 2019, you can now also use your GitHub account to sign in to some subscriptions.
This article will provide the steps for signing in with an email address provided by your work or school.
Please visit https://my.visualstudio.com.
Enter the email address to which the new Visual Studio subscription was assigned.
Note
This address is also identified in the subscriber welcome email you received. Please check your junk mail folders if you have trouble locating the welcome email.
Click Continue.
You will be redirected to your corporate sign-in page.
Enter your password.

At this point, the 'Benefits' page should be displayed
You can now see the type of subscription you're using displayed in the blue bar across the top of the portal.
You can also see your currently selected subscription in the upper right corner, under your username. It will say 'Showing: ', followed by the subscription. If you have more than one subscription, you can click on the drop down arrow and select the subscription you would like to use.
Go to https://my.visualstudio.com.
Enter the email address that was assigned the new Visual Studio subscription
Note
This address is also identified in the subscriber Welcome Letter. Please check your junk mail folders if the Welcome Letter was not received
Click Continue.
You'll be redirected to a decision page.
Select Work or school account if the subscription is associated with a 'Work or School' account associated with an Azure Active Directory (AAD) tenant.
Select Personal if the subscription is associated with a 'Corporate' email address, but has also been converted to a 'Personal' Microsoft Account (MSA).
Note
This will be the case for many subscribers who have used Visual Studio subscriptions (formerly MSDN) in the past.
If one pathway fails, try the other. Subscription admins may have modified your subscription.

A: The most common cause of sign in problems is attempting to sign in with an account that's different from the one associated with the subscription. If you use several different email addresses, it's possible that you're trying to sign in with the wrong one. Try signing in with another address. If that's unsuccessful, you can reach out to our subscriptions support team for assistance.
A: Many users have more than one subscription. If you are able to sign in to the subscriptions portal at https://my.visualstudio.com but cannot see your subscription, there are two common causes:
After you've successfully signed in to the subscriptions portal, we recommend visiting the Benefits page at https://my.visualstudio.com/benefits and exploring the great tools, services, and offers available to you.
On-the-fly code quality analysis is available in C#, VB.NET, XAML, ASP.NET, ASP.NET MVC, JavaScript, TypeScript, CSS, HTML, and XML. You'll know right away if your code needs to be improved.
Not only does ReSharper warn you when there's a problem in your code but it provides hundreds of quick-fixes to solve problems automatically. In almost every case, you can select the best quick-fix from a variety of options.
Automated solution-wide code refactorings help you safely change your code base. Whether you need to revitalize legacy code or put your project structure in order, you can rely on ReSharper.
You can instantly navigate and search through the whole solution. Jump to any file, type, or type member, or navigate from a specific symbol to its usages, base and derived symbols, or implementations.
Multiple code editing helpers including extended IntelliSense, hundreds of instant code transformations, auto-importing namespaces, rearranging code, and displaying documentation.
Code style and formatting functionality with fine-tuned, language-specific settings will help you get rid of unused code and create
ReSharper extends Visual Studio with over 2200 on-the-fly code inspections for C#, VB.NET, ASP.NET, JavaScript, TypeScript and other technologies. For most inspections, ReSharper provides quick-fixes (light bulbs) to improve the code.
Find and remove unused code? Migrate your code to the latest C# version? Convert loops to LINQ at will? Find and prevent possible exceptions? Use a common naming standard? All that and a lot more code improvements are made possible with ReSharper's code analysis.
60+ refactorings and 450+ context actions help safely organize code and move it around the solution, distribute responsibility, decouple, decrease complexity, or simply use alternative language syntax.
ReSharper helps instantly get to any code in a solution, no matter how large the solution is. It can also navigate you from any symbol to its related code such as implementations of a given interface, extension methods of a class, or usages of a field.
Configure and apply code style based on your personal preferences or your team standard. Code style and formatting settings for C#, VB.NET, ASP.NET, JavaScript, TypeScript and other languages can be applied in any scope, from a selection to a solution.
ReSharper can create a lot of code for you: from new files and classes to conditional blocks and GUIDs; from methods and properties required by an interface being implemented to equality checks and formatting members.

dotUltimate license also covers plugins for dotCover and dotTrace in Rider.
There are several new inspections with quick-fixes, like Swap via deconstruction, Replace empty array creation with Array.Empty<T>
, and Replace new EventArgs()
with EventArgs.Empty
. ReSharper now also takes into account the generated_code
property from .editorconfig
, allowing it to mark files or folders as generated code and exclude them from processing.
A huge update has arrived for nullable reference types support!
ReSharper indicates suppressions (!
) that are no longer needed and that can be safely removed.
ReSharper has introduced a new refactoring to change nullability. It will update nullability annotations and suggest propagating the changes throughout your codebase.
There are also several new inspections with corresponding quick-fixes available when using JetBrains.Annotations attributes and nullable reference types are enabled.
In ReSharper 2021.2, many of the features available for manually-written code files are available for source-generated files, as well. We’ve improved editor support, enhanced the debugger, and added support for Solution-Wide Analysis (SWEA) and refactorings.

I love ReSharper! Its code suggestions routinely help me write better C#/VB.NET code.
All I can say is I love it. If you don't use ReSharper, drop what you are doing and go out and buy it!
ReSharper is an awesome tool. If you're using it you probably agree and if you aren't you should be. The productivity gains are incredible.
The ultimate Agile tool is ReSharper. Refactoring is just so darn easy that change isn't scary.
