I used the refactoring tool this evening. It saved me a lot of time. Thanks for the recommendation.
Verry nice indeed.
We have actually released the source code with the beta version. You can find the beta version and source at http://www.codeplex.com/ResourceRefactoring.
Thanks!
You rock!
Thank you.
Sigh... Now I have to put up or shut up and doing a spell checker thing... ;)
