History
Well, a couple of days ago, I decided to make a snippet of some SQL, which I had realized, I had to write regularly in the future. I was pretty tired of writing this SQL, and then I remembered: To create a snippet you have to setup an XML document. Then I got really tired. In hope of an easy solution, I did search the web for an online snippet creator. All i did find was tools, which had to be downloaded. No offence, these downloadables are properly mighty fine, but nowadays I think a tool like a snippet creator should be online. Easy to reach, and not another downloaded tool to soil your computer.Priorities can be strange some times, and I decided, that I would rather write an online tool myself, which could make snippets, than do another handmade snippet.
So here after a small coding marathon, I'll present to you:
YOUR FAVORITE SNIPPET TOOL(that is the name)
Link: www.snippettool.net
Enjoy!
FAQ
Q: Why is the link www.snippettool.net and not www.yourfavoritesnippettool.com when the tool name is Your Favorite Snippet Tool?
A: For your convenience. It is much easier, to remember www.snippettool.net and type it right.
Q: The first release is version 0.8.0, is it production ready?
A: Yes. There is some extended features for VB, which will be there in a later release. Further I have some ideas for UI improvements. Also, until I have had some more feedback, it wouldn't be right to release it in version 1.0.0
Q: VSI packages are supported, what about VSIX packages?
A: VSIX does not by default, support snippets. Hacks must be applied to make VSIX work with snippets.
Q:The Visual Studio Content Installer does not install the VSI package to Visual Studio 2xxx, why?
A: That is because, Visual Studio Content Installer is a strange piece of software. Specially, if you have more versions of Visual Studio on your machine.
Q: I found a bug, what to do?
A: I will appreciate, if you would write to me about it. Contact information is at the button of the page.
