Change the variable's name only one time

If you have written a sourcecode with 10 000 row in C# and you need to change the variable's name candy into candies and the word candy is located in different position in the same class. I wanna to change the name of the variable being located in different places only one time.

Is there a plugin or tool for Visual studio or a functionality in VS2010?

Hit Control + Shift + H set what you want to change and select Replace All.

Also you can right click over a variable and choose Refactor -> Rename

You could use CodeRush Xpress, a free tool by DevExpress that allows easy variable\class\method renaming and has lots of other features. Grab it here: http://devexpress.com/Products/Visual_Studio_Add-in/CodeRushX/

You can right click on the variable and choose Refactor->Rename from the menu, it's the most save way to accomplish it.

for vb.net it's Rename directly...

Yes, there is built-in functionality. Change the name of the variable in its declaration line and a popup button will appear right next to it. Click it and choose Rename 'candy' to 'candies'. This will perform full rename wherever the variable is used.
