Visual Studio Code Snippet Tutorial

If you code in Visual Studio, there are things that you do over and over. I try as much as possible to reduce the repletion because it just goes faster, and I'm impatient like that.

That's why we started this site and www.TelerikDeveloper.com, to blog all the cool code samples so that we only type them once.

To that end, I type this all the time:

Sub TestSub()
       Try
 
       Catch ex As Exception
           ErrorHandler.globalErrorHandler(ex, True)
       End Try
 
 
   End Sub

I created a Code Snippet to automate the typing. If you've never seen how a Code Snippet works, you really should read this.

You'll obviously have your own error handling code.
