What Code Snippet Editor Do You Use?

I've never used one, but I've heard about Code Snippet Editor from Microsoft. This version is for VS 2005. However, there's also a VS 2008 edition.

1 I accepted this answer because you seem like the only user to have ACTUALLY read the question.. Snippets of Code! = Code Snippets for Visual Studio. I have +1'ed some of the other answers though as they are useful.

– Rob Cooper Sep 22 '08 at 7:25 Code Snippet Editor is the best that I been able to find. Snippy is buggy and not workable, fragile. Sampe with Snippet Designer, yet it does have an nice explorer which does work."Code Snippet Editor" with a snippet explorer would be awesome.

– AMissico Jan 9 '10 at 8:08 There is also "Snipp Dogg" at ;. It relies heavily on the Property Grid which makes editing harder than it should be. – AMissico Jan 9 '10 at 8:31 Code Snippet Editor has a VS 2010 version (actually supports multiple versions of VS now).

Snippet Compiler is a great little mini-IDE that's perfect for checking little code snippets.

Snippet Compiler is a great tool, however, I have not accepted as I was looking for Code Snippet tools as in a tool to help create the XML snippets that enable you to complete code (e.g. Ctor, prop etc. ). +1'ed either way, SC is awesome :D – Rob Cooper Sep 22 '08 at 7:27 Doesn't answer question. – AMissico Jan 9 '10 at 13:43.

linqpad.net/ it's awesome. Apart from snippets you can query SQL databases as well A set of small webcasts on linqpad can be found here: dimecasts.net/Casts/ByTag/LinqPad.

Nice app! Thanks for the heads up! – Rob Cooper Sep 22 '08 at 7:27.

Honestly, in reality, regardless of what I would like to think and say, my empirically tested, productive library is "search in file" and "open that project and that file I did few months ago". I say this since that is easy, real life example of something and best way to re-use. For the ones saying "yes, but you can' access easily something from 18 months ago, I will say: that is just not realistic: code older then 18 month is obsolete!

Ok, but now to answer the question with the best tool I think people should try: evernote.com/ it is cool because in one tool you can do you geeky code library, but also use it for other non geeky stuff. Plus, it has cool OCR technology to help you search even pictures! (with text in them).

I also use this Snippet Compiler, the one @moobaa linked. I think it is really good and helpful to test "on the fly" little pieces of code, running them immediately without firing up the entire Visual Studio env; it can target different frameworks version. Try it, it is good.

I am a bit biased since this is my project. But I use the Snippet Designer. It integrated directly inside Visual Studio and lets me highlight a section of code and just export it into a snippet editor.

Buggy. Not workable. – AMissico Jan 9 '10 at 8:03 1 If you have any issues feel free to file bugs on the codeplex page.Thanks.

I add snippets into TextMate bundles (RSpec, Rails, etc).

Textmate all the way for me, I'm actually creating a new bundle for use with the PHP framework that I'm now using.

Rick Strahl recently posted a great MVC project for linking to code snippets from social networking sites: The project explanation can be found here Introducing CodePaste. NET The actual site is available at CodePaste.net.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
