This refactoring helps you convert an extension method to a static method and update all usages in the current solution accordingly.

Consider the following example:

            
public static void DoSomething(this string s)
{
}

private static void Test(string str)
{
  str.DoSomething();
}

        

            
public static void DoSomething(string s)
{
}

private static void Test(string str)
{
  DoSomething(str);
}
