Channel 9 Interview: Refactoring in Visual Basic with Refactor!

Published 11 December 07 05:41 PM
I just released a Channel 9 screencast with Lisa Feigenbaum, PM on the VB IDE Team, where she shows us how to use Refactor!, the free add-in for Visual Studio 2005 and 2008 that provides over 30 refactorings for Visual Basic. Lisa walks us through all the new refactorings that were added for the latest version of Visual Basic 2008. You can download Refactor! here. You can get the demo code she used here.

Enjoy!

That sounds pretty cool.  The best refactoring plugin I found so far for both C# and VB is Resharper.  That tool does wonders.
