Hi,
Is there a way we can send a feature request for Visual Studio? When using
'Refactor-->Encapsulate Field', I'd like to have an option for the
references not to be updated anywhere in the project. It would be very
useful for me (and probably others too) because I use this feature to
generate my properties from my member variables. So I type all my member
variables and then take them one by one and encapsulate them... When the
project is small it's quick and efficient, but when the project becomes
bigger it can take many seconds and sometimes minutes because it searches in
all the assemblies of the solution to update the reference to a private
variable that is not used anywhere because I just created it. Moreover, it
would be nice to take a block of member variables and tell Visual studio to
encapsulate them all. It would save a lot of time (and money too).

So to reiterate my question : Is there a way (or place) we can send a
feature request for Visual Studio?

thanks

thanks... I can see that all my comments are already addressed... but they
are closed, does someone have any idea as if those features will be added in
the next version? if they could release a service pack or something like
this to add them to current version (VS 2005)?

thanks

Click to expand...

There will be a service pack for VS2005 - the beta for it starts next week.
Service packs generally don't include new features, and they generally don't
give feedback on which suggestions will actually be implemented. If they
chose to implement your suggestions, the first place it'd be likely to show
up is in the "Orcas" beta, which isn't even announced yet (and is still at
least a few months off, I suspect).
