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?
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.
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.
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.
Here are all the Visual C# code snippets for Visual Studio 2017
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)
In Visual Studio, go to menu Tools → Extensions and Updates...
Observe the Extensions and Updates window
Enter "C# Methods Code Snippets" in the search field (upper right)
