If the code snippets are not showing up in Visual Studio, go to Tools -> Code Snippets Manager, change the language to XML, and add “C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Xml\1033\Snippets\SharePoint Server Workflow” to your snippets.
If you’re like me and don’t have Tools –> Code Snippets Manager in VS 2008 VWD, do this:
From the Tools menu, click Customize.
- In the Categories list, click Tools.
- With the Customize dialogue box still open, open the Tools menu.
- Back in the Customize dialogue box, in the Commands list, drag Code Snippets Manager and drop it on the Tools menu.
- Click Close on the Customize dialogue box.
