This is really a thinly disguised test of zoho polls - but also an interesting topic to me as I get back

My latest in a series of the weekly, or more often, summary of interesting links I come across related to Visual Studio. Anthony Cangialosi posted a link to a new article in Code Magazine on Visual Studio Gallery and highlighting some favorite VS extensions

Why is there a language choice for the Code Snippets? Why can't it be one less click/step and just figure out what language you're using.

Thanks.

PHenry, that's a good question for the product team... (Unfortunately I cannot provide you an answer myself.) Did you know you can submit feedback to the product team directly? Just go to http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/Feedback and submit this question. I'm interested in seeing their feedback.

Posting the question right now. Thanks for the link. I think the problem stems from a small misunderstanding (on my part, not yours :>). The problem is I think the Visual C# structure I was mentioning is just a folder structure, an organization hierarchy which doesn't belong in my opinion.

Keep this up! I enjoy the short but very informative vids!

Entirely too hard to used.

There should be an option to just select a piece of code and have the thing automatically added to a base snippet XML and the automatically added to the snippet libray with an option to edit it if you need to additional functionality.

I've tried to do this several times with no luck, the snippet is there but when I try to use it nothing gets inserted.
