Presenter: Mike Palermo
The session started off a bit rocky due to the fact that Mike's laptop and the projector did not want to go to a higher resolution than 640x480 or800x600, can't remember, all I know it was big and not a lot fitted on the screen. It was really unfortunate, as it was a great session.
One of the nice things we were shown was how to create your own code snippets.
Snippets are XML documents, so they can be created/edited easily. The standard code snippets are stored in Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC#\Snippets\1033\Visual C# for C#, so you can copy one from there to My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Code Snippets\Visual C#\My Code Snippets and edit it to your liking, obviously changing the Title and Shortcut values.
Look here for a snippet editor.
Other usefull tips were Prevent Copy on Blank Line and Toggle Clipboard. I'm not going to post every tip here, so please see Mike's speaker notes here.
