Code snippet for 'protected void MethodName(object sender, EventArgs e)' method
When adding a method to handle server events (such as OnClick) I often found myself copying the Page_Load method and changing the name. I looked for a snippet which would create this method for me but had no luck, so I wrote one.
The snippet shortcut
Type evt then hit <tab><tab>
What the snippet outputs
protected void YourMethodName(object sender, EventArgs e) { }
