install.bat

echo "%VS100COMNTOOLS%..\..\VC#\Snippets\1033\Visual C#\"

xcopy "idisp.snippet" "%VS100COMNTOOLS%..\..\VC#\Snippets\1033\Visual C#\" /y /r

Create the above two files using Notepad and save both in the same directory. Now run the install.bat. Just go inside your disposable class type ‘idisp’ and select idisp double tab.
