General


Enable C++/CLI support	By default, ReSharper will work in C++/CLI code. If you notice some problems there, you can disable this feature.
Show popups for import actions	If you use a symbol that is defined in the standard libraries or elsewhere in your solution, ReSharper helps you add the missing `#include` directives automatically: If the checkbox is not selected, the corresponding action will be available in the action list when you press `Alt+Enter`.
Enable inspections, quick fixes and context actions in files external to the solution	By default, code inspection, quick-fixes, and context actions are available in all solution files. If necessary, you can enable these features in external files referenced from solution with this checkbox.
Color identifiers	This option enables extended highlighting of C++ syntax. There are 20 identifier types that you can highlight differently. You can change colors and fonts at any time in Visual Studio options (Tools \| Options \| Environment \| Fonts and Colors).
Replace Visual Studio tooltips	This option lets you replace Visual Studio symbol tooltips, which appear when you hover the mouse over code symbols in the editor (quick info), with ReSharper tooltips. This option is enabled by default because ReSharper tooltip provides better syntax highlighting and symbol documentation:


Treat resolve errors as warnings in template code	This option lets you decrease severity of errors in C++ templates. By default, this option is enabled. You may want to leave it enabled for two reasons: Visual Studio does not compile unused C++ templates. Thus, if this option is not enabled, you may see errors in perfectly compilable code. Visual Studio compiler works not exactly the same as the C++ standard prescribes. Therefore, this option allows you not to highlight errors that that are possibly ignored by the Visual Studio compiler.
