I have fields in one class and I want to move them to another class. Creating the new fields is not that much work. Changing all their references from the class they were in until now, however – is.
‘Rename’ doesn’t accept ‘myClass.Field’ as valid. Is changing using Find-and-Replace the only option (though then I’ll have to check every occurrence because of identically-named variables)? Or is there a simple way like ‘Rename’?
There is no (built-in) refactoring that will move a variable to another type. Some third party refactoring tools (such as Resharper) do include this as additional features.
However, I would recommend letting the compiler help you instead of relying on Find and Replace. If you remove the original variables, every access of the variable will become an instant compiler error. This will give you all of the usages without false positives.
