I cannot remember how many times I was entering the same piece of code over and over again with few (if any) changes. The piece of code that I'm talking about is an event handler method with a signature similar to the following:

protected void Accept_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    //....
}

The whole structure is method is usually the same. We have access modifier, a name of an object, an underscore, a name of an event and finally the sender and EventArgs part of which only three things tend to change.

Keeping this in mind I have created a code snippet that saves me a lot of time when I need to create event handlers manually (which usually happens when working with ASP.NET controls).

Some time ago I have written an instruction on how to use code snippets and also I have provided a couple of useful snippets. The new snippet added to the collection is used by typing "eventh" and it allows for customizing 3 parts of an event handler that are most likely to change.
