Refactor!™ by Developer Express fuses a language-independent state-of-the-art code shaping engine with a patentpending and highly-optimized user experience. Unlike other refactoring solutions that target the system architect, Refactor! is designed to help all ASP.NETAJAX developers quickly improve code with the speed and efficiency needed to meet their line of business demands.

What is Refactoring?

Refactoring describes the process of making many small changes to working code, improving the internal structure without altering the external behavior of that code. Refactoring reduces long-term maintenance costs because it makes code more readable and more flexible.

Why Refactor!™

Refactor! puts an entire suite of powerful refactoring tools at your command with just one key (“One Key Refactoring”) and it works directly on your code in your editor – so you’ll never have to leave your code just to restructure it. Refactor! is built upon a languageneutral architecture – that means ASP. NET-AJAX, C#, Visual Basic, and C++ developers can all get the same highquality refactoring experience. With over 100 refactorings, Refactor! will increase your productivity and efficiency from day one. Here are just a few examples how… Example 1: Validation Validation usually requires you

Example 1: Validation

Validation usually requires you to go through several steps of adding, finding and binding controls. This process usually results in validation controls being added last or not at all. Our ‘Add Validator” refactoring makes it a breeze by allowing you to add one of several validation controls to your standard ASP.NET controls.

Example 2: Master Pages

Master Pages are the key to creating a great website architecture and design. This process requires that you move your current ASPX source to a newly created file then restructuring the detail page with a ContentPlaceHolder. Needless to say, the process is time consuming! Generally, this process of creating Master Pages results in your HTML/ASPX pages breaking and losing references. The “Extract ContentPlace- Holder (and create master page)” not only creates the Master Pages for you but also creates the detail layout as well. Simply select the content that needs to be on a master page and the Refactor! takes care of the rest.

Example 3: CSS Styles and Skins

CSS Styles and Skins are indispensable for maintaining an overall consistent look and feel for websites. You already know that working with Styles can be cumbersome since each webcontrol can support its own individual style and extracting and moving these styles into a common CSS file is a headache. It usually means that you’re searching through your ASPX source code for styles that need to be moved, cutting and pasting to a CSS file and finally adding the new style ID to the control. Once you begin using Refactor!, this process can be radically simplified…in fact, it will be reduced to a single click.

Summary

When it comes to scope, breadth, and ease-of-use, no other product in the market even comes close to Refactor! by DevExpress.

Refactor! offers ASP.NET-AJAX developers a powerful suite of integrated tools to simplify code, increase flexibility, and significantly reduce the cost of maintaining code. Discarding the traditional hard-to-use modal dialog approach, the tools in Refactor! are instead presented directly on the surface of the editor, providing immediate intuitive access. Refactor! is the only tool that makes so many refactorings accessible, increasing code quality and flexibility while reducing risk and costs associated with improving structure and long-term maintenance.
