Managing C# snippets

Question

In Visual Studio, when I right-click I've the option to Insert Snippet. Are those snippets static or I can add my own snippets? How can this be done?

You can add your own.

There is a whole section on snippets on MSDN, you may want to start by reading all the articles in the Creating Code Snippets page.

It seems very useful. I've installed-it and I'll try to learn to use it. Thanks.

A direct way of editing and creating snippets is to work with the *.snippet files in the snippets folder.

On Windows 7 this directory would be:

"C:\Users\your_user\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Code Snippets"

You could create a snippet for C# and place it in this directory:

"C:\Users\your_user\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Code Snippets\Visual C#\My Code Snippets"
