I wrote this using visual studio 2008, on a windows 2003 server Standard R2 w/sp2 base OS, also with MS Office 2007 including sharepoint designer 2007, and MOSS 2007 enterprise installed on it. I don't think all of that's required, and it should run just dandy on a barebones WSS 3.0 basic install, but just to give the context of what I did. Also, if you want to see exactly how that all works I suggest you read the official docs I have linked to in the article. <br />If you want to know how to use code snippets in Visual Studio 2005, check out <a href="http://www.dotnetjunkies.ddj.com/Article/C95AC204-DE44-4D4A-A2B7-1EB1BE14A8A1.dcik" rel="nofollow">this</a> article from dotnetjunkies. <br /> Just so you know, I'm happy to help, but this stuff is just an example, not a definitive howto guide, which is why I've provided the more official links. Generally speaking, I write for people who get stuck on the same things I do, not necessarily the whole swath of developers across the community. I do that kind of broad scoped writing when someone else is paying me to do it, like my good old articles for DevX. Here is just my thoughts, my work and experiences, and some hints for what I consider to be helpful for folks working on things like the stuff I am. This is not my resume, and I'm not interviewing for a job, so I've got nobody to impress. I hope I've been helpful to you, but if not, don't worry, I'm not asking for a C# MVP nomination anytime soon ;) Visual studio 9 is Visual Studio 2008.

Could you show me the full .Actions code you are using, not just the Parameters part? I'm very new to this stuff, this is the first time I have used Visual Studio since doing C++ code in VS6. BTW, what is that directory you are saying to put the snippet code in? No such baby. Is there even a Visual Studio 9.0 yet? And Visual Studio 8.0 does not seem to have a VC# subdirectory...?
