This code snippet thing will make me a very lazy programmer. Excellent!

Can't wait for RTM now Smiley

Is the title of this this video wrong?
Feingold or Feigenbaum?

She's very pretty though Wink

Ken much better video good stuff here, I like how your videos are longer and really get into the meat of the topic. I also like how you always have that flat panel monitor right there so its easy for us to see. Much better, I liked how you aksed more questions Smiley

Didn't learn much about code snipets, was to busy looking at the presenter. If thats what they look like at MS, how do I get a job??

Looking through the Snippet Manager in VS2005 Beta 2 I noticed that the VB collection is extremely rich but there are hardly any for C#. Is there a movement to make a rich collection of snippets for C# as well?

Cheers,

code snippets are not hard to add as an add-in to VS.NET 2003. This is definitely not a compelling feature of VS2005 to focus on. I know of a couple of add-ins out there that already do this. I can't wait until the release of VS2005 and the code snippets backported for VS.NET 2003 use.

But if I wanted to, I could stop bullets, right?

Man, this almost makes me wanna start programming in VB instead of C#.... because... of... the..... code... snippets... Code snippets. Yep, thats why =P

The code snippets look cool, but does anyone know if the snippets are actually stored in Program Files, and if you have to be an admin to add Code snippets. Cause that would be annoying.

Edit: I guess I can add other directories, just cant edit the prebuilt ones.

The defaults are stored there, but there is a folder in "My Documents/Visual Studio 2005" where you can put your own.

Tools -> Code Snippets Manager is a good place to look, to find out where any of your registered snippet directories are located. It is true that the snippet files installed with the product are located in Program Files. The directory we provide for creating your own is located at My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Code Snippets\Visual Basic\My Code Snippets.

However, there is no restriction on where a snippet directory must lie in order to use it. You can always use the Add/Remove buttons in the Code Snippets Manager to control which folders show up in the IDE.
