SonarLint spots bugs and quality issues as fast as you code.
SonarLink is an extension for Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 which makes it easy to visualize SonarQube issues. It enables you to connect your local solution to a SonarQube server, allowing you to retrieve issues directly from within the IDE. Universal solution that support all programming languages. In the SonarLint Rules view in the explorer, you can activate and deactivate rules to match your conventions. There is also a code action on each issue to quickly deactivate the corresponding rule. Find logs if you need them In the Output panel, show output from SonarLint.
- 5 languages supported: C#, VB .Net, C, C++ and Javascript.
- Open source, Roslyn based code analyzers.
- Deep code analysis algorithms using pattern matching and dataflow analysis
- Hundreds of rules, and growing.
- Comes with explanations to resolve detected issues.

Also know, how do I use SonarLint code in Visual Studio?
Using SonarLint in your projectAdd in the SonarQube server, username, and password information. Once you connect, you will see SonarLint connect to the SonarQube server. Then you will see a screen that will ask you to select a SonarQube project to bind your solution to.
Secondly, what is difference between SonarQube and SonarLint? SonarQube is a server where you can host your projects and execute analysis, whereas SonarLint is an agent that allow us to connect with this SonarQube and execute the analysis remotely. SonarLint can be used with IDE or can also be executed via CLI commands.
Keeping this in view, how do you use SonarLint?
Eclipse->help->Eclipse MarketPlace->Type sonarLint ->click install (Restart eclipse after it has been installed successfully). Step 3: To run sonarLint automatically, enable the checkbox under project properties. It helps developers to highlight errors and bugs while writing code.
