C# Code Snippets

This extension provides you C# code snippets.

Why this ones and not Microsoft C# extension snippets

  • TABed with your VS Code indentation settings and not like Microsoft C# extension, which indents always exactly 4 spaces.
  • contains only snippets and no additional huge libraries are installed.

When you want to use Microsoft C# extension, but only snippets from this extension (How to disable Microsoft C# extension snippets)

  • Localize the Visual Studio Code extension here:
    • Windows: %USERPROFILE%.vscode\extensions
    • Mac: ~/.vscode/extensions
    • Linux: ~/.vscode/extensions
  • Go to the ms-vscode.csharp extension folder.
  • Open the snippets folder.
  • Rename the csharp.json to bk_csharp.json for example.
  • Start Visual Studio Code if it was closed, or restart it if is running.

Now you will see the C# Code Snippets only and the rest of features of C# extension.
