One of the key features that I like most in Visual Studio 2005 is the built-in support for refactoring. This is how easy it is to extract a method. Visual Studio takes care of all the "dirty" work.

Highlight and right-click the code you want to extract to a method and select Refactor > Extract Method.



Enter the name you want to assign the extracted method.



Visual Studio extracts the method and makes all the necessary name changes, including method signatures (if applicable).
