Type Element (IntelliSense Code Snippets)
Visual Studio 2008
Specifies the type of the object.

The Object element is used to identify an item that is required by the code snippet but is likely to be defined outside of the snippet itself. For example, Windows Forms controls, ASP.NET controls, object instances, and type instances should be declared as objects. Object declarations require that a type be specified, which is done with the Type element.
The following example uses the Type element to declare the type of an object in a code snippet.
