Question

How can I change default Generate Method Stub behavior in Visaul Studio to generate method with body

throw new NotImplementedException(); 

instead of

throw new Exception('The method or operation is not implemented.');

Visual Studio 2005 supports targeting the 1.0 version of the compact framework. In order to keep the size of the compact framework small, it does not include all of the same types that exist in the desktop framework. One of the types that is not included is NotImplementedException.

You can change the generated code by editing the code snippet file: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC#\Snippets\1033\Refactoring\MethodStub.snippet and changing the Declarations section to the following:

        <Declarations>             <Literal Editable='true'>                 <ID>signature</ID>                 <Default>signature</Default>             </Literal>             <Literal>                 <ID>Exception</ID>                 <Function>SimpleTypeName(global::System.NotImplementedException)</Function>             </Literal>         </Declarations>
