Using Visual Assist X version 10.5.1724.0 with Visual Studio 2008 on Windows XP SP3

I am using VS2008 as an XML/XSLT editor. I would like to create VA snippets in a new "XSLT" snippet root.

I started by creating a sample XSLT snippet in the existing XML root in VA Snippet Editor:

a:apply-templates:atm:
<xsl:apply-templates select="$Node$" mode="$Mode$"/>

Next, I created a new file for XSLT snippets as %APPDATA%\\VisualAssist\\Autotext\\xslt.tpl. I then copied and pasted the sample XSLT snippet and its termination character into xslt.tpl. I also copied the file to C:\\Program Files\\Visual Assist X\\AutoText\\xslt.tpl. Even after clearing the VA symbol cache and restarting VS, I did not see XSLT added to the list of snippet roots in the VA Snippet Editor.

Is there some other configuration change needed to add a new snippet root, or is this just not possible? If not, I will continue to use the XML root.

Thanks

Philip

psteiner,
for xml/xslt snippets you might want to check out the 'snippet designer' -- http://snippetdesigner.codeplex.com/

Is VA working for you in your XSLT files? This is not an extension I recognise off hand. You can tell VA to treat a new file extension as a known and supported language, so that one of the current VA Snippet nodes will work for you, as explained here:

OK, no problem, thanks for the speedy reply. I will add this to the VaX wish list.

Regards,

Philip

Sorry, but as far as I know, it isn't possible.
