Hi

None of my mvvm code snippets are working. This happened after the most recent VS 2012 update. I tried to uninstall and reinstall mvvm light but no luck. Also tried CleanOldFiles.exe and reinstalled. Anyone can help on how to get the snippets working again?

I am not getting the MVVM Light code snippets in Visual Studio 2012 either. I'm using Microsoft Visual Studio Ultimate 2012 Version 11.0.51106.01 Update 1 and I have reinstalled MVVM Light 4.1.24.0

Are you using Resharper intellisense? If yes, this is unfortunately removing the ability to use VS snippets. I would contact the Resharper team and ask them to solve that, as it is really annoying.

If not, let me know and we can investigate.

Thanks

Good call - I am!

I've posted them a question:
"The code snippets in MVVM Light (e.g. the code that VS 2012 offers for automatic insertion after Ctrl-K Ctrl-X) are disabled by ReSharper. Why? This seems like a bug as I cannot find a "restore 3rd party code snippets" option in the ReSharper options."

I'll post outcome back here.

Thanks, I appreciate.

In the mean time I am also looking into publishing the code snippets as resharper snippets.

Cheers

Laurent

Here's a me Too....

I'm using vs2012 Ultimate. And resharper.

With resharper intellisense set to ReSharper, code snippets such as prop etc... work, however not the mvvminc etc... code snippets.

I enabled the Visual Studio option under Resharper->IntelliSense->General then both the prop and mvvminc code snippets worked. 

Seems a bit odd that the default snippets work with resharper intellisense enabled while at the same time the mvvm light snippets don't. 

Thankfully I don't have to restart visual studio for the resharper intelisense changes to take effect allowing me to disable resharper intelisense to add mvvm light properties easily with the code snippets. 

c ya.... - jeffa

Resharper is using their own code snippet format. What you see (prop, etc) are resharper snippets, not the VS code snippets.

Publishing MVVM Light snippets as resharper snippets is possible (someone actually translated them already), but it is extra work to add them to the installer. I wish Resharper would just show the VS code snippets, at least as an option.

Cheers,
Laurent 

Laurent, Alexander, a Support Engineer from JetBrains, got back to me asking for clarification on where mentioned snippets are disabled. If you want me to CC you in on my reply can you ping me your email address (mine's timregan at microsoft dot com).

Hi Laurent,
I encountered the same issue. I used VS 2010 Professional and MVVM Light 4.0, it worked great.
Right now I am using VS 2012 Ultimate and MVVM Light 4.1 for VS 2012, the code snippet does not work. I am not using Resharper.
Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
