I’m away from home and on my laptop and found out how much I miss my desktop setup, aside from tools like GhostDoc and StyleCop I have a couple of snippets that make things a little easier, unfortunately I’m had to recreate them from scratch to use them.

First off is the NotifyPropertyChanged property snippet based off of the VS 2005 prop snippet.

          <ToolTip>The variable backing this property</ToolTip>
          <Default>myVar</Default>
        </Literal>
      </Declarations>
      <Code Language="csharp"><![CDATA[private $type$ $field$;
  public $type$ $property$
  {
    get
    {
          return $field$;
      }
    set
    {
          if($field$ != value)
          {
              $field$ = value;
              NotifyPropertyChanged("$property$");
          }
      }
  }
  $end$]]>
      </Code>
    </Snippet>
  </CodeSnippet>
</CodeSnippets>

Then two snippets I use with style cop, a copyright header that StyleCop likes and an auto generated one for files I don’t want StyleCop scanning.
