Snippet Designer for VS 2008
Snippets in Visual Studio 2005/2008 are probably an underused feature, but Matt Manela aims to make them a more productive experience and has released a Snippet Designer for Visual Studio .NET 2008 on Codeplex. From his blog:
The Snippet Designer was started as an intern project of mine during the Summer of 2006. The idea was to make snippet files (which were introduced to Visual Studio in 2005) a first class entity. Following this idea I created a Visual Studio plug-in which included an editor for snippet files and a search tool window to find snippets. The plan then was to release it on Codeplex but when my internship ended the project was forgotten about.
Now after two year of sitting there I found the code, cleaned it up a bit and am releasing it on Codeplex as an open source project at http://www.codeplex.com/SnippetDesigner. My goal in releasing it on Codeplex is two fold. First I would like people to try it out, give me feedback and see if we can make it better (it still has plenty of rough edges). Second I would love to turn this into a community developed project where we all can collaborate on it.
