I was wondering if anyone knows where I might find C# versions of the VB.NET code snippets built in to Visual Studio (2008)?
VB.NET has a wide-ranging collection of snippets that cover most of the basic tasks one might want to accomplish, i.e. File I/O, LINQ, DB connectivity, and so on. C# has a much smaller and narrower library, mainly stuff for NetFX 3.0, Refactoring, and something called "other", among one or two other items.
The code snippets should still work. Tools => Code Snippets Manager..., or the chord:
Ctrl+K, Ctrl+B
For example, prop Tab Tab gives:
public int MyProperty { get; set; }
with ability to step through the pieces to change. The full list is in the manager.
Two resources that I've used before to get C# code snippets are
Got Code Snippets and Visual Studio 2005 Code Snippets which will give you a collection of over 400 different types of C# code snippets.
If there is a particular VB code snippet that you like you can alway use a tool to translate the code in C# and then create your own code snippet.
Good luck and hope this helps some.
Doh! Further searching revealed the following:

Visual C#
Task-Based Code Snippets This is a set of task-based code snippets in C# that can help you with programming tasks ranging from working with databases and windows applications to writing mobile device applications and networking programs. Note: Visual Basic versions of these snippets are included in the box.
Looks like this is exactly what I was looking for.
