Visual Studio contains a number of predefined snippets. Snippets are usually available for common code that is used frequently allowing the developer to insert this code quickly without having to retype it every time. I often use the try and if snippets, but you can also create your own custom snippets. Recently I found myself to be endlessly creating a try/catch block where in the catch I was logging an exception using a custom logger class, so I decided to create a custom snippet to do this for me. In this post I’ll explain how to create a basic snippet, how to configure Visual Studio to use the snippet, and how to use it in code.
