As A comment to the post, I add that the old prop snippet is a must when you are not yet using the new Framework but still use Framework 2.0 as I do.
And I ask you a hint if you can:
I dont' know if it's a problem in my installation of Visual Studio But today I used for the first time a snippet and When I pressed tab instead of going from the first placeholder to the second it simply inserted a tab in the placeholder variabile such it happened in Visual Basic 2005. Have you ever had such behaviour? Could it be generated from some crazy default setting?
