Hi,
I read that you can create code snippets and place the code $CURSOR$ into the snippet to tell the cursor to start at that point after inserting the snippet.
Are there any other functions like $CURSOR$ that I maybe didn't see?
Something that would certainly help me would be to have the option of something like $DATE$ and $NAME$. Where $DATE$ is the system date when the snippet was inserted and $NAME$ the name of who inserted it.
These extra functions would allow me to make a code snippet for the header of my stored procedures.
It would then look something like this:
I would then have my name (from SQLPrompt Options) and the date entered automatically and then I could write a short description of what the procedure/function etc. will do.
What do you think? Good, bad, impossible?!

That's a good idea and is something we might implement in the future. We have been thinking about enhancing snippet functionality further, but that probably won't happen until version 4.

I know that the 3.5 version is only just (pre)-released, but what is the roadmap for SQLPrompt? Will there be a few more minor releases in the coming months or are you working on the next major release?

You may want to look at Visual Assiste X for VS 2005 , to see how they approach AutoText (ie Snippets)
You can add a snippet and include $Anything$ in the code , as you use the shortcut or select the snippet you are prompted to provide Anything , which is insetrted into the code wherever yo define $Anything$
Imagine creating a standard wrapped property by typing your variable once !
they are www.wholetomato.com
PS yes I am lazy any labour saving stuff for me !!
