How to Create Code Snippet Using VS2012?

            Visual Studio allows developers to save snippets of code which can be inserted at a later time. This saves on retyping blocks of code that are used often. I also find it very useful when I have to show code during presentations. Instead of typing everything live, I find it far easier to simply add the code block by block using code snippets.

Follow the steps to create a code snippet using Visual Studio 2012.
Name should be *.snippet

Next you can create your Snippet code.

Here I've write Sql Code.

below sql sample code

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<CodeSnippet Format="1.0.0" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/2005/CodeSnippet">

  <Header>

    <Title>SqlInsert</Title>

    <Author>Ram</Author>

    <Shortcut>SqlIns</Shortcut>

    <Declarations>

      <Literal>

        <ID>message</ID>

        <Default>my function</Default>

      </Literal>

    </Declarations>

    <Code Language="CSharp">

      <![CDATA[

           using( SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection())

           {

                con.Open();

                SqlCommand cmd = con.CreateCommand();

                cmd.CommandText = "";

                cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("", "");

                cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("", "");

                cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();

            }]]>
