By Roy Osherove February 1, 2006 In [.Net 2.0](https://osherove.com/blog/category/net-2-0), [Cool sites](https://osherove.com/blog/category/cool-sites) **Historical article** · Originally published February 1, 2006; technical details may be outdated. _"I'm not uninstalling this one.  215 is "good enough" right now to boost my productivity.  2.0 has NUnit test-running capability through a UI widget, but I find that I still prefer the crude text output of_ [_TestDriven.Net_](http://testdriven.net/)_. Bottom line:  If you are very used to Resharper 1.5, and you are working with VS 2005, give build 215 a shot.  It's working for me.  **P.S.  Remember to turn off VS intellisense.**"_ _\[via [Jeffrey Palermo](http://codebetter.com/blogs/jeffrey.palermo/archive/2006/01/31/137410.aspx)\]_ I knew **someone** had to be actually trying out every release that comes out of [Resharper 2.0](http://www.jetbrains.net/confluence/display/ReSharper/Download), and and **knew** I don't have the time to sit there and keep un/reinstalling the build just to see it break VS 2005 again and again. So thanks, Jeffry, for keeping us up to date. A stable "enough" build of [Resharper 2.0](http://www.jetbrains.net/confluence/display/ReSharper/Download) Alpha is just what the doctor ordered. I'll go download right now! **Note**: some of the comments on that post still talk about a high memory consumption in devenv and other things. I wonder.... is it **really** stable enough? ## More in .Net 2.0 [All posts in .Net 2.0](https://osherove.com/blog/category/net-2-0) - Feb 6, 2006 ### [FIX: error message while rebuilding a solution and trying to view a Windows Form in Design view (VS 2005)](https://osherove.com/blog/2006/2/6/fix-error-message-while-rebuilding-a-solution-and-trying-to.html) - Feb 4, 2006 ### [.NET 2.0 certification study group in Israel?
