Code Snippets Manager

Visual Studio Code Snippet files (.snippet) are managed by the Code Snippets Manager available in MSVC 2005, 2008 and Express editions). The keyboard shortcuts you need are:

Cntrl-K Cntrl-B To enter the CSM
Cntrl-K Cntrl-X To insert a code snippet in your code

Code snippets look like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<code xmlns="">
...some metadata and code...
</code snippet>
</code snippets>
