Convert Extension Method to Plain Static refactoring

Last modified: 08 March 2021

This refactoring helps you convert an extension method to a static method and update all usages in the current solution accordingly.

tip

The reverse functionality is available with the Convert Static to Extension Method refactoring refactoring.

Consider the following example:

Before refactoring

public static void DoSomething(this string s)
{
}
private static void Test(string str)
{
  str.DoSomething();
}

After refactoring

public static void DoSomething(string s)
{
}
private static void Test(string str)
{
  DoSomething(str);
}

Convert an extension method into a static method

  1. Place the caret at the declaration or a usage of an extension method in the editor, or select it in the Structure window.

  2. Do one of the following:

    • Press Ctrl+Shift+R and then choose Extension Method to Plain Static.

    • Choose Refactor | Extension Method to Plain Static from the main menu.

  3. The refactoring is carried out without requiring you to specify any further options.
