Code Snippet Add-In??

I wrote a lot of "classic VB" add-ins for myself until I found out
that many of them had already been done pretty well by other
programmers who made them available for free.

Does anyone know of any good, free VB.NET add-ins? I'm particularly
interested in an add-in for managing code snippets: saving, cataloging
and pasting to the code window.

Thanks,

Hi Don

I came across one in my travels but remember not where.

Try Googling with: code snippet add-in vb.net

Did you know that you can store snippets by dragging them onto a tab on
the Toolbox? Create a new tab (if you wish), write the title at the top of the
snippet in a comment, mark it all and drag it onto the Toolbox. Voila.

Hello Fergus,

Thanks, the Toolbox tip is pretty neat! I'm going to have to spend
some more time mining MSDN for other IDE gems. The Toolbox dealie will
be useful but I'm afraid it would be difficult to keep track of a
couple hundred snippets.

I've been Googling for about a week and have found some commercial
add-ins but not much freeware. I did find a different type of freeware
add-in called QuickModeler that looks interesting. I didn't download
it because I couldn't tell if it's GUI and documentation are written
in German. Has anyone had any experience with QuickModeler?

Here's the blurb:

QuickModeler is an Add-In for Visual Studio .NET which provides
reverse engineering and easy UML modeling functionality to the
development environment. It comprises features like autolayout,
inheritance and association modeling, cross language model

Sounds interesting.

Thou should seek stoutness of heart and download anyway. ;-)

It's in English but, having only just installed it, I don't know how to
use it.
