Regular Expression Replacement in Visual Studio

Text replacement in visual studio using Regular Expression can be very handy during refactoring in large projects.

E.g. to find "new DoubleFieldEntry(Convert.ToString(_obj.[Text to Keep]));" and replace with "new DoubleFieldEntry(_obj.[Text to Keep]);"

The find regular expression is "new DoubleFieldEntry\(Convert.ToString\({_obj.*}\)\);" and the replace regular expression "new DoubleFieldEntry\(\1\);"


The above replacement in the figure replaces codes in the current project such as "new IntFieldEntry(Convert.ToString(_obj.SaleID))" to "new IntFieldEntry(_obj.SaleID)"
