Question

Hi I would like to create a Visual Studio snippet that I can have predefined values to…

for instance

<Timeline AutoPlay="$True|FALSE$">

Is there a way to do this?

Is there a tag other than Default that will allow me to add possible values?

        <Snippet>

            <!-- Add additional Snippet information here -->

It sounds like you want macro replacement in a Visual Studio Snippet. Unfortunately this is not really possible. Visual Studio snippets only support a very small number of replacement macros and they are not user controllable.
