I want to move a vb.net app to c#. The vb.net app has thousands of byref parameters that should be byval. Does anybody know a way to automate checking whether each parameter passing approach can be safely changed?

You could search for `refVariable =`. Then you should not make it `ByVal`. But you have to do it manually(use VS function _find all references_). – Tim Schmelter Feb 02 '13 at 00:11

Sounds like an answer, tim! – Eamon Nerbonne Feb 02 '13 at 00:23

yes, you might use the `find and replace` feature of Visual Studio `:)` – spajce Feb 02 '13 at 07:44

-1 how does it help to determine whether [`ref`](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/14akc2c7.aspx) is required or not? – Tim Schmelter Feb 02 '13 at 01:49

Thanks for getting back guys...the developerfusion tool is great but I'm not allowed to send code outside the company. I think I'll have to do what I can with regex and then just start in on debugging. Tim's idea of looking for refVar= is probably worth a crack.] – daniel Feb 03 '13 at 21:03
