I would like to write a template / snippet for property, as they more or
less all follow the same verbose template.
Or maybe I just would like to edit the existing one?

Anyway I would like to have this (psedo-code) template


<object> <varname>;
public <object> <Propname>
{
get { return <varname>; }
set
{
if(<varname> == value)
return;

<varname> = value;
if(<Propname>Changed != null)
<Propname>Changed(this, EventArgs.Empty);
}
}

public event <EventHandler> <Propname>Changed;

how do I do that? what file shoulf I change?

public event EventHandler $property$Changed;
$end$]]>

put it in a file (say prope.snippet) and put it in the

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC#\Snippets

directory

Thanks, with your guidance I just created the Super Property Snippet!!!
But I had to use the snippet manager to add it.
Saving it in the location (where there are plenty of other snippet to read
to learn the syntax) didn't work.. I even tryed to restart VS, to no
result....
