Hi I'm doing changes to my project and look for a smooth way of changing name of variables, classes and methods and such. I've read somewhere that you can "change all xxx to xxx" in project but I'm having a hard time finding info of how you do it.

What are you talking about? A class? A method? A variable?Kahn Kah– Kahn Kah2017-05-24 09:18:25 +00:00Commented May 24, 2017 at 9:18

For example: I have changed a name of some of my methods in code, call it a clean-up, and to rename all references I think there is a way that should do it in one sweep but I can't find info about it and I'm quite new at VS.Tarbh– Tarbh2017-05-24 09:21:35 +00:00Commented May 24, 2017 at 9:21

Right click Rename, renames all references and mentions of your function variable etc.

If it's a class file with .cs extension then select the file from Solution Explorer > Right Click > Rename
After you rename, it will ask you whether you want to change it even in references like this
But if you want to rename a method then you can also use the following refactor feature:
Double Click and Select the Method > Right Click > Refactor > Rename
Example in Screenshot:
Refactor feature in Visual Studio works for all: classes, methods and variables.

Right-click on your variable and click Rename.
Then you can change its name, and confirm in the box that has appeared in visual studio.

Look at "Resharper" or other Addins that are even smarter. They can find also references in comments or source code that is not directly related.
