Refactoring tool in VS 2008?

At the university, we have VS 2005, and it has some refactoring tool, such as renaming, extract method, extract class, etc.

I decided to download VS 2008 from MSDN and only has a rename and extract method, how can I activate another?

EDIT: I downloaded Microsoft VS 2008 C # Express Edition.

Have you downloaded Express Edition? Express Edition does not have all refactoring. At university, you may have a version other than Express.

Update:

Since you published that you have Express Edition: you cannot have the Visual Studio refactoring tool you had at school. Express Edition restricts your features. See this diagram: Here . Go to school to download the academic version (usually offered to the University). This way you can get the full version with all the refactoring tools.

If you access MSDN through Uni MS Academy (I think this is what was called up when I was in uni), you should have access to the full version of VS 2008 Pro (along with other OSs and IDEs), therefore “Go for it. During the Christmas period, use the trial version of Resharper 4.1 and when your student loan comes in January, a surge in full license (should be able to get an academic license). Resharper is very useful, I use it at work and at home (in compared with 2005 and 2008) :-)
