As you know if you've been keeping up with this blog, I've got rather into my snippets and templates for Visual Studio.

I've followed the msdn examples on how to create vsi packages manually and all is hunky dory with that, but sometimes you just want a quick knock up package and crafting xml, renaming zip files and stuff just seems like too much hassle.

If your into vsi packages check out the Visual Studio Content Installer Power Toys it makes it far easier to create packages.

And if you just want to create code snippets easily then check out the Visual Basic Snippet Editor it has a great ui for creating snippets, specifying parameters and shortcuts and even saving it all as a vsi.
