Here we are at part two of the Custom Code Snippet Series. In the previous part we covered how to make your own snippet by creating an XML .snippet file and adding to it the necessary content to get a custom snippet up and running. This time around, we’re going to cover the “Easy” method of creating custom code snippets: through a GUI. Thankfully, the MSDN itself has a Code Snippet Editor for both Visual Basic 2005 and 2008 available at the following links. This tutorial will make use of the Visual...
In this brief series I’m going to go over creating your own custom code snippets for use in Visual Studio 2005 or later. We’ll be using the XML Schema from Visual Studio 2005, but I assure you it works for both. This series will contain three parts: The “Hard” Way The “Easy” Way Practical Example of an XML Snippet The reason we’re going to call this version the “Hard” way is because there are snippet generator apps available, including one made by the teams themselves. So before we begin, I’d like...
I’ll be honest that this did happen to me, and thankfully the MSDN straightened me out. For those of us who normally program for winforms, sometimes the switch to an ASP.NET project can prove to be a whole new world. For instance, I was working on a straightforward single page in ASP.NET 1.1 so that members of the same project could gather some information easily. The form itself had one field, and I wanted to ensure that the field was a number only. I added a RegularExpressionValidator and pointed...
If you use Visual Studio 2005 or later and you don't use snippets, you are missing out on yet another time saving feature. Snippets effectively allow you to drive your programming experience even further via Intellisense and keyword combinations, making repetitive tasks such as defining properties, encrypting and decrypting information, and connecting to data as easy as a few keystrokes. Yesterday I was thinking about how much snippets make sense from the perspective of programming. I remember when...
So you’ve got your free fancy express edition for VB or C#, you’ve created your new godlike application that you’ve just got to get out to the world and then the heavens rain all over your parade because you can’t find those other templates necessary to deploy your application. Now is not the time to give up, you can still get the job done with Click Once deployment, and Mary Lee over at the Visual Basic Team’s blog has got the tutorial to show you how. http://blogs.msdn.com/vbtea...
