How does Visual Studio use Code Snippet to increase programming speed !!!,
 

When using Code Snippet to simplify Coding during development, do you often encounter the need to repeat some similar Code, such as whether for and foreach are often used? When writing these two loop statements, do you need to double a character or use the Code Snippet tool provided by Visual Studio to automatically generate them?
Magic
You only need to enter for in the code editor, and the following red box appears in the automatic prompt box of Visual Studio. In this case, you only need to press the tab key twice, the for loop statement is automatically completed (as shown in Figure 2), and the index is selected by default for modification.

Figure 2 Automatic completion cycle statement
Is it amazing? Like this, switch and cw (Console. writeLine), ctor (constructor), prop (attribute), and so on, flexible use of this can make your Coding work get twice the result with half the effort. For more default CodeSnippet, refer to resource [1].
However, each project has its own particularity. By default, if the Code Snippet cannot meet your needs, you need to automatically scale it out.
The secret of Code Snippet [C #]
Before you start writing your own Code Snippet, you must first understand how this is done.
It is actually just an xml, but it only contains elements that only known by Visual Studio. These elements define how to complete the code for US (, code Snippet uses different elements for different languages such as VB, C #, and CSS. This article describes all the elements in C # language ).
