Using the “Code Snippet Editor for Visual Basic 2005”

Snippets Folder

You should now find a new root-folder listed under the Visual Basic Title with the name, "My Code Snippets". [Personally, I keep all my sub-folders under that one root-folder because I find it easier to search for my custom snippets that way. It is also much easier to create sub-folders than root-folders.]

 

 

Now we will create a sub-folder. Right click on the "My Code Snippets" folder and choose "Add New Folder".

 

 

You will be prompted to enter a name for the new folder. Type: VbCity Samples and press OK.

 

 

You should now find a new sub-folder Listed under "My Code Snippets" with the name, "VbCity Samples".

 

We are now ready to start creating a new custom snippet. Right click on the "VbCity Samples" folder and choose: Add New Snippet.

 

 

The Add New Snippet Prompt will ask you to name the new snippet, type: My YesNo Msg Snippet and press OK.

 

 

A new blank snippet has been created in the VbCity Samples folder. Double-click on the new snippet.

Great article. You got me all juiced up for using it, and then I found out that for some reason this utility only edits code snippets for VB, not C#!

Please disregard my previous comment - there is an Options button that allows you to choose which languages to display snippets for, and C# is one of them.

This was the clearest tutorial I've ever read. Everything was as written in tutorial and the snippet ran as described. This man should have written the bible on VB. Other authors should read this article to keep in their heads what their tutorials should contain. There was nothing left out of this tutorial and there ALWAYS is.
