Visual Studio 2012 Code Snippets Manager

Hi,

I can't remember exactly how things worked in 2010; all I do remember is having no problems.

In 2012, what I want to do is very simple. I don't want to touch availability or content of any of the existing Microsoft snippets. All I want to do is add a couple of my own. I created a directory on my development drive for the snippets because I want them to be backed up with my normal backup routine (i.e. I don't want them buried away somewhere on the C-drive). I have used the Add button in the Code Snippets Manager to add the directory where I store the snippets.

When I am in a C# file, hitting CTRL-K,X brings up a list of snippets folders. One of these is called Code Snippets, and this contains the C# snippets in my physical snippets folder on my data drive. There is also a snippets folder called My Code Snippets, which contains the .aspx snippet I created in my physical snippets folder. So, when I am in a C# file, I can get to all the snippets I have created.

When I am in a .aspx file and I hit CTRL-K,X, the drop-down list contains only the following snippets folders: ASP.NET, MVC3 & 4, and HTML. I do not get the Code Snippets or My Code Snippets folders, and my .aspx snippet does not appear anywhere.

When adding my physical snippets folder, I have tried setting the language to HTML, but this seems to have no effect.

Sorry - this is a really difficult thing to explain. All I want is to be able to place a .aspx snippet in a directory of my choice and then have this available via CTRL-K,X while editing a .aspx file. It can't be that difficult.

Kind wishes ~ Patrick
