In snippet editor, the %EnvVar% works, but it seems that VA loads the variables list when Visual Studio starts up, if you change the value of the env variable, VA will still use the old one.

I guess maybe you can provide a way to update/retrieve/refresh the environment variables?

Regards,
Kenny

I guess I understand now, thank you!

What Visual Studio and Visual Assist version are you using?
Why do you need this? Can you please give me an example where it would be useful for you?
How do you change the environment variable?
