Chapter 6: Adding Code Snippets

Coding is a lovely activity, but at times, we have some repeated statements to solve a few known situations, which makes coding more of a monotonous process. Code snippets are a good resource to reuse pieces of code where it's desirable. Visual Studio has some code snippets by default that we can use while we are coding, but we also have some tools to create our own code snippets.

In this chapter, we will learn about how Visual Studio helps us to write code faster using code snippets and how to create our own.

We will review the following topics and functionalities for snippets:

  • What are code snippets?
  • Creating code snippets
  • Deleting code snippets
  • Importing code snippets

Let's start recognizing the concept of code snippets and how they work in Visual Studio.
