Lost my Refactor Window

[moondaddy]

I'm running VS 2005 pro vb.net and started to experiment with refactoring.
I selected some code, right clicked and selected Refactor / Extract Method.
The Refactor popup window appeared. This was my first time to see it and at
first glance I wasn't able to do anything with it, including make it go
away. So I clicked on the red 'X' in the top right corner and it
disappeared as you would expect. however, the red refactor line on top of
the method remained. So I selected the code block again and was going to
select refactor again, but now its not available from the rightclick menu.

If I do an alt + F and bring up the Find Window, the refactor red line
disappears. Now when I do a right click on the same code block I get the
refactor/extract method menu item again, but when I select it, all that
appears is the red line above the method and the refactor window is no where
in sight. How do I bring this back? is this a bug?

Thanks.

Hi

So far the VB.NET 2005 did not support refactor.
