Refactoring support for C# developers is available via the Refactor menu or the right-click context menu, as shown in the left image of Figure 17-9. The full list of refactoring actions available to C# developers within Visual Studio 2008 includes Rename, Extract Method, Encapsulate Field, Extract Interface, Promote Local Variable to Parameter, Remove Parameters, and Reorder Parameters. You can also use Generate Method Stub, and Organize Usings, which can be loosely classified as refactoring.
