Transfer all ReSharper Settings between PCs
C#Visual StudioResharperStylecopC# Problem Overview
I was wondering if there is a way to copy ALL my settings from ReSharper (including the StyleCop for ReSharper settings and the keyboard bindings I have set for ReSharper) from one PC to another?
C# Solutions
Solution 1 - C#
Since the export option within Resharper is only for code styles, you'll need to be a bit craftier for all settings.
From Peter Ritchie's blog...

I have Resharper 4.1 so instead of "...\v4.0\vs9.0" it's actually "...\v4.1\vs9.0" (obvious, I know, but worth mentioning).
I'm not sure about StyleCop settings, but this should work for most other settings (keyboard scheme, code completion settings, etc...).
Solution 2 - C#
There is a R# settings manager plugin for resharper that stores all of this I think, including stylecop settings
Solution 3 - C#
- Open Visual Studio
- Go to Resharper > Manage Options
- Click on Import and Export
- Click on Export to File
- Tick all check box
-
Click on OK and save the file to your desired location
-
To import the settings to other computer, repeat steps 1-3 and then select Import from File. You are done.
Enjoy!
Solution 4 - C#
You can Export/Import your ReSharper Code Style or put it on the network and share between multiple computers. To do so:
From VS Menu select ReSharper -> Options then in Option dialog select Languages/Common/Code Style Sharing.
Not sure if it's exactly what you're looking for.
Solution 5 - C#
StyleCop settings are not stored in the resharper plugin. they are in the stylecop directory and in an xml file (Settings.StyleCop).
Solution 6 - C#
I have a solution that i am using!
Skydrive and junction link magic. I create a junction in the filesystem that point the settings to a skydrive folder. this way i have everywhere i use skydrive the same settings!!!
On the target pc i do the opposite.
Hope this helps.

Steve Dignan's answer is probably correct for 2009 version of Resharper.
In newer versions of Resharper global for PC Resharper settings are located in:
%userprofile%\Appdata\Roaming\JetBrains\Shared\vAny\GlobalSettingsStorage.DotSettings.
Solution team-shared settings are in the solution folder called {Solution Name}.sln.DotSettings.
Solution's personal settings are in {Solution Name}.sln.DotSettings.user.
So to transfer settings between 2 PCs, copy settings file(s) for the appropriate layer(s) you want to transfer and that's it. Usually just copying global is enough.
