My most frequently used Resharper and VS.Net Shortcuts

1. Resharper 

ReSharper is a VS.Net Plug-in that gives you solution wide error analysis with lots of refactoring features.

I can say with confidence that my productivity has gone up after I started using this tool and completely addicted to it.

These are some of the shortcuts I regularly use. In version 4.5 some of these tasks have been given new shortcuts but the old one still works.
