vb.net - Refactoring options in Visual Studio 2010 differ between C# and VB

Question

In VS2010 C#, when I right-click there is "Refactor" menu with following options:

• Rename
• Extract Method
• Encapsulate Field
• Extract Interface
• Remove Parameters
• Reorder Parameters

Are these options available in VS2010 VB.Net? All I can see is "Rename" when I right click?

Answer 1

"Rename" is the only refactoring VB.Net has. C# is definitely more robust.

Check out Code Rush Xpress. It's a slimmed down, free version of their full tool but it may provide some of your missing refactorings.

Personally, I use and absolutely love Resharper. Well worth the money IMO.
