Snippet in Visual Studio to create static method
After using Textmate for a couple of weeks I’ve come to realise how incredibly powerful and beautiful it is! Creating text snippets is a breeze – and improves productivity no end!
To achieve the same affect in Visual Studio though is a right pain in the butt-ocks. All I wanted to do was create a very basic snippet to define a static method (because I was creating a bunch of them all at the same time) and had to get down and dirty with some XML.
Anyhoo – here’s my result:
Public Static Method Declaration
pubs
Code snippet for creating a static method
Chris O'Sullivan
Expansion
return_type
Return Type
void
method_name
Method Name
method
param_type
Param Type
param_type
param
Name of Param
param
Then you just type pubs[tab] and it will create a declation like this:
public static void method(param_type param)
{
}
With the ability to tab between the different fields.
But oh man what a pain that was to do! (I love you textmate – xx)
