About the ArcGIS Snippet Editor

The ArcGIS Snippet Editor lets ArcObjects .NET developers create a library of ArcGIS snippets that can be accessed and used by the ArcGIS Snippet Finder.

Components of the ArcGIS Snippet Editor

The ArcGIS Snippet Editor comprises the following main components to help developers create a library of ArcGIS snippets to enhance their .NET ArcObjects development:
  • ArcGIS Snippet Editor Manager—A central dialog box that acts as an administrator for custom ArcGIS snippets.
  • ArcGIS Snippet Editor wizard dialog boxes—Enables you to create and edit ArcGIS snippets. For new ArcGIS snippets, these dialog boxes can run independent from the ArcGIS Snippet Editor Manager by highlighting a block of code in the Visual Studio code editor and choosing the ArcGIS Snippet Editor Wizard selection on the context menus.
  • ArcGIS Snippet Editor Manager options—A dialog box that controls all of the selected choices that are available on the ArcGIS Snippet Editor wizard dialog boxes. The following illustration shows the main components of the ArcGIS Snippet Editor system. The boxes in blue represent dialog boxes, the yellow ovals are major functionality pieces, and the green box delineates all of the ArcGIS Snippet Editor wizard dialog boxes.
