I have a code snippet that creates a C# class for me. It puts the regions in all the right places and sets it up just the way I like it.
When I create a class by adding a new item it automatically creates the namespace based on my project and folder structure.
Is there a way I could do the same action with my custom snippet?
Is there a way I can change the default class to look like the class format I want?

If you are adding a new class in your code then you may need to add the correspondence namespaces. To do it, you may either manually type the Using Namespace or you just right click on the class name and select Resolve > Namespace. But using “Ctrl+.” you can automatically add the namespace in your code.
With a code file open in the editor, choose Snippets > Insert Snippet from the right-click menu, then My Code Snippets. You should see a snippet named Square Root. Double-click it. The snippet code is inserted in the code file.
Default namespace is the namespace that Visual studio sets when you create a new class. Next time you do Right Click > Add > Class it would use the namespace you specified in the above step.
This is possible now (2018), at least part of your's wishes, with adding this:
<Snippet>
...
<Imports>
<Import>
<Namespace>SomeNamespace</Namespace>
</Import>
<Import>
<Namespace>AnotherNamespace</Namespace>
</Import>
</Imports>
</Snippet>

I do not think that this is possible with VS Snippets, there are only a few available functions, and they are listed at MSDN. You could, though, create a new Item Template and use the parameter $rootnamespace$, which will be replaced with the root namespace of the current project. Item templates are a really useful part of Visual Studio, and MSDN has extensive documentation on it and Visual Studio Magazine had a nice walkthrough about them.
