Creating Visual Studio Code - Using Uppercase Names

Question

I prefer to use actual type names for primitive types instead of their corresponding keywords, for example String instead of String , Int32 instead of int , etc., because I like to have consistent syntax and wrapper - that is, type names are colored like typenames (aqua blue ) and properly cased (uppercase first letters).

How can I tell VS that whenever it generates any code (for example, when I select the "Implement an interface" option on the interface name or an automatically generated event handler and something else), it should add type names in my opinion taste?

One option is that you can manually change the fragments that interest you. In Visual Sutio (I use 2013 Community Edition), go to Tools → Code Snippet Manager ... (or press Ctrl + K , Ctrl + B ). You will get a dialog with all the VS fragments using:

Select the fragment you want to change. For instance. for a loop in Visual C #. You will get the location of the fragment. You can edit it. For example, declaring a fragment of a for loop:

 <Snippet> <Declarations> <Literal> <ID>index</ID> <Default>i</Default> <ToolTip>Index</ToolTip> </Literal> <Literal> <ID>max</ID> <Default>length</Default> <ToolTip>Max length</ToolTip> </Literal> </Declarations> <Code Language="csharp"><![CDATA[for (int $index$ = 0; $index$ < $max$; $index$++) { $selected$ $end$ }]]> </Code> </Snippet> 

To get what you want, you need to replace for (int $index$ = 0; with for (Int32 $index$ = 0;

To change all the fragments is a laborious task, but I am sure that in most cases you can use the Notepad ++ search and replace function (if you correctly and accurately determine what needs to be replaced) to replace the aliases with the correct type names.
