I have used code snippets in VS 2005, VS 2008 like: {code snippet},{TAB},{TAB}. Since I migrated to VS 2010 I cannot use the 2 TAB combination anymore. How can I access it? I feel like a real noob :)

Edit: I guess it works, but not for all of them... I tried for the get and didn't do anything. Maybe I should check what is with the get inside code-snippet manager.

The Tab+Tab combination is still the way to insert code snippets in Visual Studio 2010. It's likely another setting which is breaking this behavior. I would try reseting my Visual Studio settings and see if that fixes the issue

  • Tools -> Import / Export settings
  • Navigate through the wizard
  • Use the profile of your choice

Thank you for your fast reply... I went through the wizard and in the last step, there is "Choose a Default Collection of settings". Do I just need to pick one, does it matter really?
@Cristi if you don't know then choose "General"
Thanks Jared, actually I noticed something strange on my side... as I have a 'get' keyword as snippet, but no definition in Code-Snippet Manager under 'Visual-C#' where I was trying to use it. That's why I think I had problems. No clue where does this 'get' come from.

It should be the same combination as before (tab-tab works for me!). It may be worth checking for any extensions you've installed that might override shortcuts...
