Convert a local function to a method

This refactoring applies to:

  • C#

What: Convert a local function to a method.

When: You have a local function that you want to define outside your current local context.

Why: You want to convert a local function into a method so that you can call it outside your local context. You might want to convert to a method when your local function is getting too long. When you define the function in a separate method, your code is easier to read.
