ReSharper allows you to quickly change the order of code elements by moving them up or down. In particular, you can:
-
Move members up and down -
Reorder method parameters -
Move statements within a block -
Move statements out of or into a block -
Move XML tags up and down, as well as XML attributes left and right
Warning
You should move code elements at your own risk since ReSharper neither checks if in any specific circumstances moving them
would be valid nor fixes any references. For full-fledged refactorings that solve related tasks, see
To move a type member up or down
- Place the caret anywhere in a member declaration:
- On the main menu, choose ReSharper | Edit | Rearrange Code | Move Up/Down. Alternatively, press Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Up or Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Down to move a member up or down, respectively.
The member moves in the specified direction. For example, as shown in the image below, pressing Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Down moves a member down:
To reorder method parameters
- Place the caret at any parameter in a method declaration or a method call:
- On the main menu, choose ReSharper | Edit | Rearrange Code | Move Left/Right. Alternatively, press Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Right or Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Left to move the parameter to the right or to the left within the signature:
For reordering method parameters both in method declaration and all its usages, use the

To move XML tags up and down, as well as XML attributes left and right
- Place the caret anywhere in the tag.
- On the main menu, choose ReSharper | Edit | Rearrange Code | Move Up/Down/Left/Right. Alternatively, press Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Up or Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Down to move current tag up and down within parent tag or Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Left or Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Right to move current tag out of or into some other tag.
