Hmmm...Smart I'm sorry but I don't quite follow.

Are you talking when you attempt to change it from a Queue<Song>, Queue<SongRequest>. Did you make a SongRequest class?

No I didn't make a SongRequest class. Am I not working on the KaraokeMachine class?? Such that I do the type migration from Song to SongRequest?? Well I guess me missing the steps that's why me lost. May you bring me to the light.

If all you're doing is changing the name of a class (or anything else) then you should use the Rename refactor, not Type Migration.

Me changing a type field, for example Its like

private Queue<Song> mSongQueue ; I need to change Song to Song Request then the renaming I would do for the mSongQueue to mSongQueueRequest.

Do know if Iam clear.
