Automatically Create a .cs file from a class in Visual Studio 2010

I often code in such way that I put several classes in one cs file to get my code going and then at some point, I want to move every class to a seperate .cs file within my C# project but I have to do this manually by creating a file for every class and cut and paste the class to the new file and then 开发者_开发知识库resolve the required namespace one by one for each file. No Fun!

Is there a way to just click right on the class and make visual studio to automatically move the class to a new file under the project tree? I mean, would you please provide such Macro/Snippet(or whatever it is called :) ) and instructions on how to add it to Visual Studio 2010?

If anyone is looking for a lightweight solution to this problem I found a free Move Type To File extension specifically for this purpose.

I think Resharper has the functionality you want (plus so much more).

Visual Studio 2017 now has Code Refactoring that includes Moving a class into its own file.

• For example you can either right click on the class "Foo" and select "Quick Actions and Refactorings" (or the shortcut Ctrl +)
• Then select "Move type into foo.cs"

1. Ctrl M + M to Collapse the structure you are in (class/interface)
2. Ctrl X , cut the collapsed structure
3. Shift + Alt + C , make new CS (class file, but also you can use it for interfaces the same)
4. Type the name of the Class/Interfaces files into the box
5. Copy over the empty class , page Down , shift up arrow , select the class , ctrl V

6.Change the name space if you want ( optional )

This also works with previous and current version (2012) of VS.
