Convert Extension Method to Plain Static refactoring

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:

Before refactoring	After refactoring
`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); }`

Before refactoring

After refactoring

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);
}

To convert an extension method to a static method

Place the caret at the declaration or a usage of an extension method in the editor, or select it in the Structure window.
Do one of the following:
- Press Ctrl+Shift+R and then choose Extension Method to Plain Static
- Choose Refactor | Extension Method to Plain Static in the main menu.
The refactoring is carried out without requiring you to specify any further options.
