Where are the MVVM Light snippets?

Question

It seems that snippets of MVVM Light are not installed when we use Nuget to install MVVM Light Toolkit.

Where can I find them ?

Answer 1

Snippets are available on GitHub.

• Download the code (upper right Clone or download button) and extract it.
• Use the Visual Studio Code Snippet manager (from the "Tools" menu) to import the snippets located in the Installer/InstallItems/Snippets/CSharp folder of the extracted code.

Simply extract and put snippet files under \My Documents\Visual Studio 2015\Code Snippets\Visual C#\My Code Snippets\MvvmLightCSharpSnippets . Then you can try it out by typing "mvvm". No restart is required. – Masseuse

Answer 2

For anyone else who didn't find C# snippets in the download specified in the accepted answer, you can download MVVM Light extension

• for VS2015 (as well as for VS2013 and VS2012) from this link.
• for VS2017 from this link.

This not only installs C# snippets for you, but also the relevant Project and Item templates.

The download works with the Community Edition of VS2015 too.
