The Make Method Non-Static refactoring allows you to convert a static method into a an instance method. All calls, implementations and overridings of the method are automatically corrected.
The reverse functionality is also possible with the Make Method Static refactoring.
To make a method non-static
- Place the caret at the method name in the editor. Example:
- Do one of the following:
- In the main menu, click ReSharper | Refactor | Make Method Non-Static.
- Right-click the method name, and select Refactor | Make Method Non-Static in the shortcut menu.
- Press Ctrl + Shift + R, and then select Make Method Non-Static.
The Make Method Non-Static dialog opens:
- Select the instance parameter from the list. The instance parameter will be substituted with
.thisin the method body. - Select visibility for the new instance method.
- Click Continue. If no conflicts are found, the refactoring is performed immediately. Example (continued from above):
