My snippets are provided "as is", with no warranty of any kind, either express or implied.  Use at your own risk.

This download is a Visual Studio Content Installer package (.vsi) that contains all of my C# Code Snippets.  Each snippet is available for download separately as well here.

For more information on my C# Code Snippets see my blog entry: Custom C# Code Snippets.

How to use the installer file

Download the CSharp_Snippets.vsi file to your computer, browse to it using Windows Explorer, and double-click it.  The installer will show you all of the components that my .vsi file contains and ask you where you want to copy each snippet after clicking Next.

Note: Because the file isn't signed with a software publisher's certificate it will prompt you to continue; you must click Yes. 

Installation with the Visual Studio Content Installer

1. Start the installation by double-clicking the .vsi file that you downloaded.
2. Click Next to begin installation.
3. Click Yes when you are warned that the package isn't signed.
4. Select all of the snippets in the left-hand pane at once using Shift or Ctrl, or drag the mouse over all of them with the left-mouse button pressed.
5. Check the item in the right-hand pane labeled My Code Snippets.  The tooltip will show you the full path of that directory, usually found at My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Code Snippets\Visual C#\My Code Snippets.  (You can choose the Visual C# directory instead if you'd like; however, the snippets will then be installed in Visual Studio's installation directory instead of the Visual Studio 2005 folder under My Documents.  If you need to locate them for some reason in the future, you'll probably have an easier time finding them under My Code Snippets.)
6. Click Next and then Finish to install the snippets.

If you'd prefer a plain ZIP version instead I've provided that here.
