Roslyn: [Refactoring] Change member modifiers (public, internal, etc…), virtual, static

[kuhlenh]

Refactoring that allows you to change a member modifier "to internal", "to virtual", "to private", "to public".

[CyrusNajmabadi]

isn't that just "the completion list"?

[Neme12]

I don't understand how this would be any faster or have fewer steps involved than just selecting the modifier and invoking completion?

[kuhlenh]

Adding more clarification from developer: "_changing from non-virtual to virtual, or from abstract to virtual would require code modifications to any base and derived classes in the inheritance hierarchy too (such as abstract -> virtual adding an empty block in the base method)._"

[CyrusNajmabadi]

Abstract<->virtual is about the only one i can think of where we need to do modifications. Not sure how it affects the inheritance hierarchy though. Unless htis feature is going to add/remove "base.XXX" calls in some manner.

[Neme12]

What modifications should this do when changing visibility?

There has been an ask to consolidate Change Signature feature requests into one issue. Since this enhancement is being tracked by the overarching issue #33977, will close as a dupe.
