See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refactoring

>I've heard a lot about "refactoring" your code... Can someone explain exactly what this is, and give me a before and after example of some code that has been "refactored". Is there a tool that does this in VFP? I think .NET has some of this built in Visual Studio 2008, and you can buy 3rd party tools.
