Remarks
Code snippets are pieces of code that can be inserted using the Code Snippets Manager. Each snippet is associated with a particular coding language. This interface provides a way to examine the information associated with code snippets for a particular coding language.
Notes to Implementers
This interface is implemented by the expansion manager, which is represented by the IVsExpansionManager interface. Visual Studio typically implements the expansion manager.
Notes to Callers
To obtain this interface, call the EnumerateExpansions method in the IVsExpansionManager interface. See the Example in this topic.
Examples
This example shows a method that retrieves an array of VsExpansion structures each of which describes one code snippet for the specified language.
