I have used Visual Studio for some time.  The Snippet feature was really handy in generating code you normally have to type in all the time.  For years now, I press the CTRL+K,CTRL+X keys to get the list of snippets and then navigate down to the snippet I want to use.

While this has been useful, it always seemed to me that snippets seemed to take a bunch of effort just to access them.  Well...  I just found out today, you only need to type their name and hit the TAB key twice to generate the snippet.  Wow!  That is really simple.  For example, just type "prop" in the editor and hit the TAB key twice, that should generate the puplic property code with a get and set.  Or just enter "foreach" and hit TAB twice..  Or maybe "#region" and tab twice..  Just TOO cool!

I guess I should have read the documentation to snippets, but I figured it all looked simple enough.  Maybe there are a few of you out there that have missed this big feature!

Another stupid oversight on my part, the snippets are listed in intellisense and when you type part of one it appears, you can just hit TAB twice to generate it.

While posting this, I might add just in case you do not know about it, there is a Snippet manager built in under the "tools" menu.  

Also, if you want more information on them, try on MSDN at "Creating and uing IntelliSense Code Snippets":

Lots of good information there!
