The generated codes template seemed to be fine for .NET but I doubt some of them are actually not working as expected for Win32...

For variables within a single method, I usually use SyncEdit instead. Rename leaves that stupid refactoring window to clutter up my screen; SyncEdit doesn't.

I think that is about all I use it for myself tho. Useful for renaming a variable inside a procedure. I think that is about all I use it for myself tho.

For now, you can either use FireFox, or look at the blog's front page -- it's fine there. Felix: That’s an IE bug that I haven’t worked around yet.

Since the choice seems to be: 1. Complain and complain for years hoping this ever gets fixed in the IDE and in the meantime not using refactorings. 2. Spend $99 Euro and get Code Explorer. The choice seems a no brainer to me. The efficiency improvement when using this tool (I have not tried Castalia but it may be similar) is well worth the money. Of course, using this does eliminate the fun one can have by bashing CodeGear for years and years :-) ModelMaker Code Explorer is cheap and does everything above perfectly.

However, it is so often that I need to rename something across projects. I guess that's why Castalia still has chances to sell more copies. But why cannot CodeGear make default refactorings better? Wish they could do things well in Tiburon. The rename issue is so big that I give it up soon. However, it is so often that I need to rename something across projects.
