I’m having an issue where none of my code snippets are working and they aren’t showing up in intellisense.

1.Switch, prop and all other snippets aren’t listed in intellisense.

2.When I try to use shift+alt+f10 to generate a method stub, I get an error:

"code snippet titled [Method Stub – Body] failed to load. Verify that the refactoring snippets are recognized in the code snippet manager and that the snippet files are valid on disk."

The [method stub – body] snippet is in the snippet manager (I can see it listed) and I opened the file in XML editor and validated it. I’ve reset VS settings. Rebooted, restarted VS2008, removed all add-ins, I’ve removed and re-added the paths for the VC# "refactoring" folder within the Code Snippet Manager. I’m out of ideas (well, the last one being re-install). Any ideas?

    Someone else logged into my computer and tested this. The code snippets worked under his login. This proved that the issue was a profile setting. I fixed this by doing two things:

    • I renamed the 9.0 folder to 9.0_test (because I didn’t want to delete it just yet) found in Application Data and in Local Settings.
      • D:\documents and settings\’your user name’\Application Data\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0
      • D:\documents and settings\’your user name’\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0

    I then fired up VS2008 and tested snippets. Everything worked fine.
