The Right Stuff

Today I had to change a whole lot of code like this

public CheckBox ChkBypassProgram
{
    get
    {
        return chkBypassProgram;
    }
}

to the following naming convention.

public CheckBox BypassProgramCheckbox
{
    get
    {
        return chkBypassProgram;
    }
}

Completing the task doing a manual search and replace would be nerve-racking and error-prone. I came up with a handy regular expression that leverages Visual Studio's Regular Expression Search and Replace.

Find: <Chk{.+}>
Replace with: \1Checkbox
