I'd like to use ReSharper with Blend, as I do with Visual Studio. For some reason I can't seem to find any information online that explains how to do this. Any ideas?

Android Studio sometimes suggest me to "Override Resource in Other Configuration". What does it do exactly? Why Android Studio is asking me this, am I doing something wrong?
No, you're not doing something wrong. It is only recommending that you provide additional resources (locale, resolution, orientation).
I used to have R# 6 with VS2010 and it was great.
Now I installed yesterday R# 7.1 trial and my VS 2012 became slow to the point I really
want to uninstall R# despite all the heartache involved with it.
Any advices on how to troubleshoot this performance issue?
Please be more specific: what kind of projects do you work with, did you notice which particular actions are slow (for example, opening a solution, invoking code completion (IntelliSense) in JavaScript or something like this). Without details I can only give you these general advises:
Close Visual Studio, try to delete your solution caches (they are usually located near your *.sln file, in folder named like _ReSharper.), open Visual Studio again.
Try to temporaty disable/uninstall all other Visual Studio extensions/plugins.
Try ReSharper 8.0 EAP, maybe your issue is fixed there.
ReSharper has a feature that allows you to profile it (menu ReSharper | Help | Profile Visual Studio). If you know a reproducible slow action, you can invoke this feature, make this action and then send this performance snapshot to JetBrains support (http://www.jetbrains.com/support/resharper/) or open a bugreport at http://youtrack.jetbrains.net/. They could tell you which part of ReSharper is slow and how to disable that part.
Web Essentials for Visual Studio 2012 says it has support for jsDoc intellisense, but I can't seen any options for enabling it, and it doesn't appear to do anything.
Any ideas how to turn it on? or could anyone suggest an alternative extension?
Many thanks,
It seems to be working fine for me:
I just tested by following the link here to here and making a (slightly modified) test file of the first example. I don't know if the entire range of JsDoc functionality is supported.
Its now released (05/05/2013):

I'm pleased to see that VS2012's Designer is much closer to Blend than the old one. One thing I still didn't find is Blend's "resource view":
VS2012 has something it calls resource view, but that is something different.
Without this, one can't reach templates other than by clicking through controls that use them.
OK. I did some research and found this preview. This is a stopgap until Update 2 released back in August. I haven't tried it yet. I'll edit my answer when I do. It seems that Update 2 of Visual Studio 2012 will include Blend support for Silverlight and WPF.
Here is more information on the preview Update 2. This is what I get for switching to a Microsoft product too early. Hope this helps.
If anyone has any more information on this. Please let us know.
Edits:
The preview is basically a preview of Blend that will eventually expire.
The biggest thing I'm not clear on is whether this statement (from this KB article):
"Blend for Visual Studio 2012 Support for Sketchflow, WPF, and Silverlight"
... means that Support for WPF and Silverlight will exist in Visual Studio itself or in another product.
Recently I came across a recommendation for a Visual Studio plugin called Refactor! For Visual C++ that looks like it would be very useful in helping me tame a particularly pastalike legacy application that I've inherited. Unfortunately, the download links appear to be broken and I can't find a mirror anywhere online.
I've also tried to contact DevExpress, but they suggested that Refactor has been effectively discontinued by being rolled into CodeRush Express and that I use that. Since CodeRush does not support C++, and even further doesn't work with Visual Studio 2005, I am unable to use it.
Does anyone know of (or can provide) a mirror for the Refactor! for VC++ installer? I'm sure I'm not the only one who's stuck in VS2005 that would benefit from this tool.
DevExpress responded to an issue in their tracker with a link to just the Refactor component. Unfortunately, I couldn't get it to work for me.
For posterity, here's the link they sent, and the issue ticket:

Edit: Before someone else says it, Visual Assist X does support Visual Studio 2005. I was interested in Refactor mostly for the fact that it is was a free product that I could use at work without having to go through purchasing and licensing issues.
Have you tried this plugin, which claims to support VS2005 and C++:
