The code snippet support in VS.NET 2005 is magical, at least once you know how to use it. I was just creating a bunch of XML snippets, relishing how much time they were going to save me down the road, and then ended up spending over an hour trying to get their expansion shortcuts to work. *blush*
Then I stumbled across the "trick". When using expansion shortcuts in an XML file you have to start by typing a left angle bracket "<", at which point the XSD intellisense will display, then hit escape to close the XSD intellisense and type the expansion shortcut. The press tab and viola, it works. Check
this out for more details.
