If you are interesting in looking at some refactoring tools now, you can certainly look at the following tools, but at this point it may be worth waiting for Visual Studio.NET 2005:
Resharper - From JetBrains. ReSharper is an add-in for Visual Studio .NET 2003 that brings intelligent C# code editing, highlighting and refactoring features to Visual Studio. Still yet to be released as of this post.
C# Refactory - C# Refactory performs a large number of refactorings, allowing you to re-shape your c-sharp code as needs arise. Refactoring is an essential part of the extreme programming development approach.
