Is this not supported? It is grayed out in the VAssistX menu. And I couldn't get it to show up in the right-click menu.

I would think you could insert a snippet in just about any file.

Thanks,

Is .config included in the list:

VA Options -> Projects -> Extensions -> Extensions to ignore

? If so then this will be why insert VA Snippets is disabled.

If you remove this extension from this list then VA will offer you Text snippets in .config files.

Thanks a lot. It's working great now.

Just curious, why is it using the Text snippets instead of XML snippets?

Thanks,

JefferyS

I suspect because VA does not know a .config file is an XML file.

Personally I see no reason to expect it to be an XML file. I am used to seeing configuration files in all sorts of random "plain text" formats, all those years of using UNIX systems
