Every new file with the same start code

Question

Every new file with the same start code

Jon Kane 1

Is it possible for me to setup a way so that every new c file I create already has some starting code? Because every single file I create I have to retype the same thing, and it'd be much nicer if it were already written when I open the file.

I'd second @RLWA32 recommendation, this is the best method to obtain what you are looking for. With that known, for completeness there is File Templates in Resharper that take templating to the next level e.g. macros to write code based on specific logic, create partial classes in different folders and have these templates available at the top of the Add new context menu.

You can create your own item template to add a C file that contains your preferred skeleton code to a project. Refer to how-to-create-item-templates
