I edit the built in code snippet propdp for personal preferences. My problem is that Visual Studio updates reset the edited propdp to its default.

I could add a custom snippet with the same shortcut propdp but Visual Studio will show me 2 propdp options every time I want to use it.

I also could add a custom snippet with a different shortcut, let's say mypropdp, but I want to avoid this and just use propdp as shortcut.

So, my question is, is there any way to hide or override built-in snippets with the same shortcut so Visual Studio shows only one of them?

  • I hope someone gives a proper answer to this - I hate the default code snippets - I don't want a setter on my properties! My suggestion (a total hack) would be to write your own service with a FileSystemWatcher to monitor C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Professional\VC#\Snippets\1033\Visual C# for changes, then immediately overwrite them with the good snippet file!
