This highly requested feature integrates Rider's robust debug engine. Developers can now manage breakpoints, track variables in real-time, and step through code seamlessly. ## Professional .NET Development Environment ReSharper transforms VS Code into a full-fledged .NET IDE. With support for C#, Razor, Blazor, and XAML, it offers refactoring, testing, and now debugging capabilities. It emerges as a strong alternative to Microsoft's C# extensions. ## Solution for Cursor and Other Editors While Microsoft's C# extensions only work in VS Code, ReSharper functions in alternative editors like Cursor and Antigravity IDE. .NET developers can now debug in AI-assisted editors without needing a separate IDE. ## Advanced Debugging Features The extension provides conditional breakpoints, logpoints, real-time variable tracking, and unit test debugging. Compatible with launch.json files, it automatically recognizes existing debug configurations for easy migration. ## Installation and Compatibility To use ReSharper debugger, other C# debugging extensions must be disabled. The plugin supports .NET Core, .NET Framework, and Mono projects. For legacy projects like WPF, attaching to running applications is recommended. ## Developer Feedback Matters JetBrains welcomes user feedback for this initial debugger release. Bug reports and feature requests can be submitted via the issue tracker. Community input will shape the direction of future updates. ## Sources covering this story - https://blog.jetbrains.com/dotnet/2026/07/13/rs-vsc-debugging/ — --- _Summary written by Brifing from the original reporting.
