VB.NET and Refactoring support - Great News

Hi Folks,

Been busting to tell you about this and just got the nod that says I can. All the whinging (discussing?) we did about the lack of refactoring support in VB.NET (as compared to C# in 2005) has paid off. Microsoft have come to an arrangement with DevExpress (Mark Miller's work) to include their Refactor! tool along with VB.NET 2005 ie: in the box. Details at:

This is great news as that will now provide VB.NET with even better refactoring support than that coming with C# in 2005.

Thanks VB team!
