Find and replace using regular expressions (regex) in visual studio?

I am converting from VB.net to C#.Net.

I need to replace Session("something") or Session("Others") to Session["something"] or Session["Others"] in the whole project. What regex i need to use in the find box and what's in the replace box. Any help would be appreciated.

Make sure you check on the option use the regular expression.

  • Find what: Session\("{.*?}"\)
  • Replace with: Session["\1"]

Note: using lazy operator ? here is try to stop when finding the first match. Thus, it should be able to handle cases like:

  1. Session("Types") = new SelectList(xxx, "Code", "Description");
  2. ((((Session("something)))))))))"))))

P.S.: In VS2013, you should use the following instead:

  • Find what: Session\("(.*?)"\)
  • Replace with: Session["$1"]
