Refactor!™ Pro for Visual Studio® .NET - Developer Express - Improving the Developer Experience(tm)

Refactor!™ Pro for Visual Studio® .NET - Developer Express - Improving the Developer Experience(tm):

Refactoring is the process of making small changes to working code, to improve the internal structure without altering the external behavior of that code. As an analogy, consider the math statement 2*4*5*3, you can convert this to 1*2*3*4*5 without changing its meaning and from there into 5!. They all mean the same thing but are increasingly easier to read.

Refactor! does the same thing but with working source code.

Refactor! is an add-in to Visual Studio .NET that parses your Source code as you move through it and delivers context specific refactorings that automate the process of reorganizing and shaping your source to make it easier to read and cheaper to maintain.
