Code Snippets on Channel9 – Ken Levy and Lisa Feigenbaum

Lisa Feigenbaum

We’ve posted a new video on Channel9 about Code Snippets in VS2005.  Click here to check out the 38min show.

Here are some of the exciting topics that you can look forward to hearing about:

 

·      What code snippets are and why they were created in VB 2005.

·      How to invoke snippets and then customize them in the IDE.

·      What a code snippet file actually looks like on disk.

·      How to edit code snippets or create your own with the Snippet Editor.

·      Going forward: places to look for more info and where you can go to post your own.
