Code Templates

Live Templates
Live Templates are ReSharper's far more intelligent version of Visual Studio's code snippets. As with code snippets, you need to type a template abbreviation, press Tab to expand the template, and then use Enter or Tab to navigate through template variables. Unlike code snippets, ReSharper can predict from the context which variables, fields, and types can be used in corresponding templates. In most cases you don’t need to type anything yourself. Just choose from a list of suggested values.
"Surround With" Templates
"Surround With" Templates is similar to Live Templates and is used to quickly enclose an expression, a single
statement, or an arbitrary block of code with if/else, try/catch or other code
constructs. ReSharper intelligently reformats the code, adjusts the selection, and/or repositions the caret as
specified by the template.
To surround a piece of code, select it and press Ctrl + Alt + J.
File Templates
ReSharper lets you add new files to your project with predefined code fragments already generated in them. For example, you can create a new file with a class declaration, an interface, struct declaration, and so on. To use a file template, right-click on a project or folder in Visual Studio's Solution Explorer, browse to Add, New from Template, select a template and enter the name of the new file to insert in your project.
Customizing, Configuring and Sharing Templates
Create your own templates and modify predefined ones. Templates can be configured via the ReSharper Options dialog.
Once defined, any template can be easily shared among team members in two ways.
Shared Solution Templates folder
You and your team members can use this folder to store shared templates designed for use with any particular solution. Templates placed in the folder will be accessible to anyone who opens the current solution.
Mounted File Storage
Templates can also be shared among a group of developers via Mounted File Storage. First, team members mount file storage, where the file contains templates designed for common use by the team and is stored in shared network location. Templates contained in the mounted file are updated from and to the file whenever the solution is opened or closed. Any changes made to the file are automatically made available to all other developers.
