Creating Own Code Snippet in Visual Studio

---

You can create your own code snippet in Visual Studio for fast inputting.

For example, I often need input comment text which indicates the place which I added or modified in code when working with team members.

Microsoft provides tutorial here to create a code snippet.

Also, we can add multiple snippet sections in single snippet template file. see here.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<CodeSnippets

  <CodeSnippet Format="1.0.0">

      <Title>My Add Code Commend</Title>
      <Author>Myself</Author>
      <Description>My Commends</Description>
      <Shortcut>myaddc</Shortcut>
    </Header>
    <Snippet>
      <Code Language="CSharp">
        <![CDATA[
//Added By xxx Begin In $CommentTime$
//Added By xxx End In $CommentTime$
