Property Value

Type: System::String^

Returns a semicolon-delimited string containing the paths to search for snippets.

The paths specified by this option are a semi-colon-delimited list and are used to look for snippets if the index file cannot be found. The search paths can contain certain substitution variables; see Support for Code Snippets (Managed Package Framework) for details.

This property is available to any language service implementation.

The registry entry looks like this:

Copy 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\[X.Y]\Languages\Language Services\CodeExpansions\
  [Language Name]\
    Paths\
      (Default)       = reg_sz:
      [Language Name] = reg_sz: [SearchPaths]
