Nice post. I used to use the built in snippets when I first started learning VB, but I found it kind of a pain to create snippets using any of the existing tools. Maybe your editor will change that. I currently use a well organized text file to store my snippets & just copy & paste them into my code. One of the things I don't like about the VS snippets is that you can't see the code that will get inserted. My text file may be old school, but at least I can review the code before pasting it in, and it's simple to maintain & update. I will give your tool a try though, when you finish it.
