Note, to compare against a GitHub repository this is built in to VS-Code.

Click the Apply button then the OK button.Enter the folder location of the code stash for Initial Directory.For the command, if VS-Code was a default install use C:\Users\paynek\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code\Code.exe.To access the code stash from Visual Studio Working with GitHub in VS-Code as VS-Code comes ready to work with GitHub. To ensure code in the code stash is a) backed up b) available from other locations create a GitHub account, create a (if you don't want others to see this code make it private) repository. Copy the folder to the current Visual Studio solution and add to the solution. In some case there may be a class project stored in C:\CodeStash, to use it, copy the project by right clicking in VS-Code file explorer which opens to Windows Explorer. For instance, handling cross thread violation for interacting with controls from another thread. Finding a snippetĪ code snippet might be something easy to re-code for some developers while not for other developers.

Note in the above image, there are other sub-folders which in this case are actual full projects while in the files shown are not connected to the other files as they are code snippet. This is a sample folder structure under C:\CodeStash Each sub-folder is like a chapter in a book which may contain sub-folders. Placed in a folder which for this article will be called CodeStash. Microsoft VS-Code is a open source and very flexible editor that runs everywhere while it's not up to the level of Visual Studio it can be used for other things like house code snippets.

Learn how to keep code that may be used in situations explained above or perhaps there is code found that was not needed but may be in the future. Worked out is used then time goes by, in another project the same thing is needed and the coder remembers this but forgets where and could it be in a former job or perhaps another programming language? Coders tend to either ask questions in developer forums or search the web for an answer or code that gets them started. From hobbyist, novice developer to full-time developer nobody can remember everything to write code in Microsoft Visual Studio.
