Snipper

Project Description
Snipper is a user-friendly way of editing your Visual Studio 2005/2008 snippet files.

• Downloadable Snippet library: http://www.gotcodesnippets.com/
• Creating snippets: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms165392.aspx
• XML schema reference: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms171418(VS.80).aspx
• Path for the default Visual Studio snippets: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC#\Snippets\1033\Visual C#
• Path for your own snippets (Vista): C:\Users\<your name>\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Code Snippets\Visual C#\My Code Snippets

NB A snippet file (.snippet) can hold multiple snippet definitions (even though all Visual Studio snippets are .snippet separate files). Your "library of snippets" is simply a directory of text files, not some magical list held somewhere that Snipper can query. Snipper only allows you to edit one snippet per file. So if you click "New" you only get one new snippet.*

By default the open dialog opens in your My Documents folder. Instructions on where your snippets are placed is in the tutorial which opens by default on first open. Please read that first.
