Code snippets for methods in Visual Studio

In Visual Studio I can type e.g.

for TAB TAB

and a code snippet pops in.

Are there built-in code snippets for private, public, etc. methods as well?


ctor: Default constructor

prop: Property

propg: Read-only property

sim: static int main method

svm: static void main method

There's a good list here. And if you want to make your own, the Snippet Designer is very good.

Here are all the Visual C# code snippets for Visual Studio 2017


You can download the method snippets as a Visual Studio Extension.

It supports the following:

method (typical method)

vmethod (virtual method)

smethod (static method)

xmethod (extension method)
  1. In Visual Studio, go to menu ToolsExtensions and Updates...

  2. Observe the Extensions and Updates window

  3. Enter "C# Methods Code Snippets" in the search field (upper right)
