Visual Studio 2005 - Improve the Design of Existing Code with the Help of Refactoring

With Visual Studio 2005 you can Improve the Design of Existing Code (Visual C# and Visual J# code)with the Help of Refactoring.

These refactoring options include rename, extract method, extract interface, change signature, and encapsulate field. These options are available from the Refactor menu.

 
Refactoring in C# and J# is the process of improving your code after it has been written by changing the internal structure of the code without changing the external behavior of the code.

VB Refactoring:

As many of you know from reading the VB Team Blog, the VB team is NOT going to be able to implement Refactoring in Visual Studio 2005. This is disappointing to all of us and I wanted to talk a little bit about what went into that decision.
