Refactoring: Creating Inline Variables

To create an inline variable:

Select the local variable in the Editor.
On the main menu, chooseRefactoringInline variable
Tip: Alternatively, you can choose Refactoring->Inline variable
on the context menu. The resulting dialog reports the number of variable occurrences that the Inline Variable command will be applied to.
Click OK to complete refactoring.

Warning: The variable that you select for creating an inline variable, should not be updated later in the source code. If it is, the following error message will display: "Variable index is accessed for writing."

For example, if you use the Inline Variable refactoring command on the local variable, index, shown below:

Copy Code

public void findIndex() {
                        int index = 2;     
                        System.Console.Writeline("Index is: {0}", index);  
                }

then the following refactoring occurs:

Copy Code

public void findIndex() { 
   System.Console.Writeline("Index is: {0}", 2); 
}
