visual studio .net ide : Clipboard Ring - 2003 Style

I have noticed some old threads and comments about the lack of the .Net 2003
type clipboard ring. Just want to point out that for a more 'visual' way to
save code segments, simply drag the code to the toolbox (General Tab). You
can then double click it to have it inserted.

Hi Terry,

Thank you posting!

The Visual Studio 2005 doesn't have a VS2003 style clipboard ring, now we
provide the Code Snippets Manager in VS2005 for reusing the code sample. We
understand your concern on this issue, it is a break change in VS2005.

I highly suggest you can submit this feedback to our product feedback
center, let us know how to improve our products:

Thanks for your understanding.

Hi Gary,
Did you actually read my posting? I am simply pointing out that in fact
VS2005 has a feature similiar to (as I understand it) the VS2003 clipboard
ring. Just select and drag the code to the toolbox. This gives you a more
'visual' way save code segment for pasting into your code. So, in VS2005
there are 3 ways. 'snippets', cut and/or copy to the clipboard and use the
CTL+SHIFT+V to cycle through the segments, and the one I discused above.
