Another idea

It would be great to support 'Surround with...' snippets. Right now it shows empty list and then 'Object reference not set...'.

Hi, Thanks, this seems to be a bug in VS CodeSnippets manager.

Just delete following registry key

Code: Select all

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0\Languages\CodeExpansions\PHP

substitute 11.0 with 12.0 or 10.0 ...

VS somehow caches old path to snippets, and after updating to newer version of the extension, it does not update this value ...

[BladeMF]

Actually the Path inside was incorrect (again the old generated path fivrlypx.tmo). I changed it. Does this mean that I can have 'surround with' now?

[Jakub Misek]

The key can be deleted, VS creates new one correctly.

Surround With and Insert Snippet works (with valid registry key).

Okay, it works. I added a #region snippet, but after Ctrl+K,S I get a list of folders, which is somewhat inconvenient. Can both folders be merged? Like in c#?

[Jakub Misek]

You should get list of snippets, no folders. If you get folders, your custom snippets have different category maybe. You should be able to manage all the snippets in Tools | Code Snippets Manager.

My snippet is here: D:\Documents\Visual Studio 2012\Code Snippets\Phalanger\My Code Snippets. Which folder should I use? I copied one of your snippets and changed it.

Tried moving it to "PHP" instead of "Phalanger". No joy.

This is VS thing; I'm using Code Snippets Manager and Import snippet button.

You choose just the snippet, not the folder, right?
