What are the most useful (custom) code snippets for C#? [closed]

What are the best code snippets for C#? (using visual studio) VB has a lot that are pre-defined, but there are only a handful for C#. Do you have any really useful ones for C#?

Anyone want to post a good custom one you created yourself?

Anyone?... Bueller?

You're really going to have to be more specific... Are you looking for websites that contain web snippets and tutorials? Code snippets themselves on a particular topic? This is a very, very general question. – Atchley 7/9, 2008 at 0:18

Have you even used any code snippets? There is no "best" code snippets. There are snippets that are more "useful" than others, but no "best" snippets. I wish i can edit the title... – Elflock 7/9, 2008 at 0:37

Snippets work well for situation and save typing. For example I have created custom snippets because I am replacing some old code in files, and I can't use copy replace, so I can highlight the old code, and then use my snippet. – Tracheostomy 10/9, 2008 at 13:3

Microsoft have released a whole bunch of C# snippets that bring it up to parity with the ones for Visual Basic. You can download them here:

There's plenty of code snippets within Visual Studio for basic programming structure but I wouldn't necessarily rate one higher than another.

I would definitely say the best ones are the custom snippets you define yourself to accomplish more specific tasks that you may find yourself using on a regular basis. Definitely a big time saver.

A fairly basic intro to creating custom snippets can be found at http://www.15seconds.com/issue/080724.htm to help with this.

I had a few on my old blog:

I also have an argnull code snippet that inserts a Guard Clause that checks an argument for null and throws an ArgumentNullException, but I haven't gotten around to post that yet.

I just started a blog, where I document short solutions in C# (code snippets) that I came up with and might prove useful to other coders.

So far I have mostly blogged about extension methods and generics.

So have a look and tell me what you think.
