Code snippets for methods in Visual Studio

In Visual Studio I can type e.g.

for TAB TAB

and a code snippet pops in.

Are there built-in code snippets for private, public, etc. methods as well?

Does Visual Studio have snippets?

In Visual Studio there are two kinds of code snippet: expansion snippets, which are added at a specified insertion point and may replace a snippet shortcut, and surround-with snippets (C# and C++ only), which are added around a selected block of code.

What is an example of a code snippet?

Code snippet: A code snippet is any example in the documentation. It shows how to use a specific member or how to accomplish a specific task. It might be a short snippet that focuses on a specific task (for example, how to cause a button to change color using the onhover event), or a longer tutorial or how-to.

What is code snippet in C#?

Code snippets are ready-made snippets of code you can quickly insert into your code. For example, the for code snippet creates an empty for loop. Some code snippets are surround-with code snippets, which enable you to select lines of code, and then choose a code snippet which incorporates the selected lines of code.

ctor: Default constructor

prop: Property

propg: Read-only property

sim: static int main method

svm: static void main method

There's a good list here. And if you want to make your own, the Snippet Designer is very good.

You can download the method snippets as a Visual Studio Extension.

It supports the following:

method (typical method)  vmethod (virtual method)  smethod (static method)  xmethod (extension method) 
  1. In Visual Studio, go to menu ToolsExtensions and Updates...

  2. Observe the Extensions and Updates window

  3. Enter "C# Methods Code Snippets" in the search field (upper right)
