I couldn't find this anywhere so an Idea would be a simple event refactoring tool. Like encapsulate field. but with an event that would give you a common
make sure you give it a name, and then tell VA you want to insert this snippet. You will be prompted for "EventName" and when you provide this, you answer is inserted into the snippet text, giving you the code
Yes that is true unless you Made the tool automatically name the method On[EventName]
Just like the Encapsulate Field tool Automatically names the property (though I guess it still asks you if that is the name you want)
And it is easier because when you have alot of snippets you have to remember the snippet name
perhaps a better solution that would fit just about anything like this would be similar to the surround with tool except you have your code snippet and it places what ever you right clicked on in all occurrences of the first variable (i.e. $VarName$) then the rest of the variables (ie $VarName2-N$) fields you would have to hand enter like a normal snippet. Now if you only have one variable name in a snippet it would be all automatic with no typing. I.E. Right Click a variable/word/etc then goto Populate Snippet then a list of all your snippets comes up. very similar to Surround With except you dont deal with the selection you deal with only one symbol.
It sounds like you simply want to use $selected$ in your snippets. Notice that VA lists these in a seperate group, to make them easier to pick out, when you press the "Insert Snippet" toolbar button.
