RefactoringOperation Class

  • Article

The RefactorOperation manages the whole life cycle of the refactoring operation.

This API is not CLS-compliant. 

Namespace:  Microsoft.VisualStudio.Data.Schema.Project.Refactoring
Assembly:  Microsoft.VisualStudio.Data.Schema.Project (in Microsoft.VisualStudio.Data.Schema.Project.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
<CLSCompliantAttribute(False)> _
Public MustInherit Class RefactoringOperation
'Usage
Dim instance As RefactoringOperation

[CLSCompliantAttribute(false)]
public abstract class RefactoringOperation

[CLSCompliantAttribute(false)]
public ref class RefactoringOperation abstract

public abstract class RefactoringOperation

[<AbstractClassAttribute>]
[<CLSCompliantAttribute(false)>]
type RefactoringOperation =  class end

Remarks

For each database refactoring type, there will be a derived class from [RefactorOperation]. An instance of this class will only exist for the duration of the refactoring operation. The [RefactorOperation] base class drives the actual life cycle of the refactoring operation. The methods of the derived classes are invoked by the base class methods.

The RefactoringOperation performs the following functions:

  • It serves as the launch point for a refactoring operation.

  • It presents a user interface to the user to gather required input for the refactoring operation.

  • It provides services such as the Preview Changes dialog box in the base class.

    Note

    The user interface runs on a separate thread that blocks only when displaying user interface elements (such as the Preview Changes dialog box).
