Answer 2

It may work, but I wouldn't count on it. Instead, use the Resharper Preview for VS 2010 (early access program) which is in active development and will remain so until Visual Studio is finalized.

Answer 3

You need to wait for a new release, but there is a preview release specifically for VS2010:

• ReSharper for Visual Studio 2010 (Preview)

Answer 5

ReSharper build 5.0.1526.25 now supports VS2010. Get it form here: http://www.jetbrains.net/confluence/display/ReSharper/ReSharper+5.0+Nightly+Builds

Answer 6

As of today's date (and probably previously), R# 4.5 works with Visual Studio 2010 but is not optimised nor does it include some of the newer features that version 5 uses.

Additionally, you will lose some of those productivity-enhancing keyboard shortcuts if you do not remember which ones you use regularly. Since Visual Studio 2010 has a lot of the features of version 4.5 anyway (auto type inclusion, remove and sort using statements, etc) then there is not much point in using R# 4.5 with it.

I love Resharper but version 5 has a very high memory overhead - which some development machines do not have. 4 gig is a virtual minimum for a machine running the latest VS and R# releases due to the background compiles that R# does.
