Comparing Refactor Pro, ASP.NET and VB.NET
Developer Express have released new versions (2.2.2) of their ASP.NET and VB.NET refactoring tools.
These are both free cut-down versions of their Pro product (USD99 per license).
I was curious as to what the overlap was between the three products, as they don’t appear to have a nice comparison table on their website. So here’s list of the included refactorings in each edition:
