Does anybody know a good and free add-in for Visual Studio 2005 to get refactoring features in VB?
The default answer to this one is probably Refactor! since this tool is also endorsed by Microsoft as the “official” VB refactoring addin. However, being a free tool, it comes nowhere near the power of other commercial tools such as ReSharper or Refactor! Pro.
By the way: While I would definitely advise trying out all these tools, it must also be said that they make the IDE much, much slower. If your machine is fast enough to handle it, go ahead and enjoy the added productivity boost. However, I’m currently not using any of these tools (despite having spent money on a Refactor! Pro subscription) because my (virtual) machine can’t handle the load.
