# AWS Toolkit for .NET Refactoring Documentation

AWS Toolkit for .NET Refactoring is an extension for Microsoft Visual Studio that reduces the time and effort necessary to refactor legacy .NET applications to cloud-native alternatives on AWS. Toolkit for .NET Refactoring assesses the application source code and recommends modernization pathways, such as porting to .NET Core. It also identifies Microsoft Windows dependencies on Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) and Microsoft Active Directory (AD), performs code modifications where possible, and assists in validating the refactored application on AWS services. Using the Toolkit for .NET Refactoring Visual Studio extension, you can perform all of these tasks within the Visual Studio integrated development environment (IDE).
