Visual Studio 2010 will include more than 200 built-in
snippets that you can immediately use when you install the product.
What is really nice is that you are not limited to only
using the built-in snippets. You can also easily create your own snippets
(complete with replaceable parameters) and both import them into VS 2010, as
well as easily share them with other developers. This makes it easy for
you to quickly automate your own common tasks.
This article describes the snippet support that already
exists in VS 2008, and provides a little more context on how to create and
manage custom snippets.
