A fantastic code snippet library add-in for VS.NET 2003!!

Hi guys,
I wanted a code snippet library. After a bit of searching I
found Total .NET SourceBook and it looked very impressive as it could
be used as an add-in for VS.NET 2003. I am a big fan of having
everything at my fingertips and not having to go to a heap of different
windows. I was not really interested in the Code Sharing Webservice,
or the heap of code snippets that comes with it, as there are plenty of
places to get share code, I was more interested in building my own
library of snippets and was really sold on the VS.NET Add-in idea.
After a evaluating it for a few mins I found that I could not create
directories in the tree menu structure when running it as the VS
Add-in. So to add a new category I would have to open the stand alone
version and add the new category then go back to VS and refresh the
database and then I could add snippets to the new category. The price
was very steep and I just could not justify it, if I had to open
another stand alone app every time I wanted to add a new category. So
I did more searching, this time for add-in's. Finally I found Sharp
Tools, a VS add-in that can have many plug-ins. One of which is a Code
Snippet Library.

It is donation ware and I will be donating as the product is well worth
it.

Just thought this might save others some time in trying to find their
code library solution.

No I am not affiliated with the guy that makes it in any way, just wish
I would have found a post mentioning his add-in before I trialed the 4
other products that I did, so posted this to hopefully save others some
time.
