I can see that there is something missing between my two environments. At work, the snippet designer was launched when I decided to export a portion of code as a Snippet. It might be something missing at my home PC. See you.

I have the same issue. Any solutions yet?

The dialog that screen shot shows is not where the snippet template should show up.
It shows up under File->New->File...
The image you uploaded shows a different dialog, I uploaded an image of what the correct dialog looks like for me called:WORKING_File_New_File.png.


Could you answer some more questions to help me figure what is wrong.
  1. Do you see Code Snippet File in File->New->File... dialog?
  2. What is your visual studio install path?
  3. Do you see a SnippetDesigner.vsdir file and a SnippetFile.snippet file at this path:
    [Path to your vs install]\Common7\IDE\NewFileItems ?

In a web site project, not a web application, the 'Export as Snippet' from the right click context menu brings up the New Item Dialog box instead of the Snippet Designer. I have seen this in multiple site projects, while it works for me in web applications. This is for Visual Studio 2008.

Details:
Visual Studio 2008 SP1
Project: Web Site
File: ASPX Code Behind and App_Code
Install Path: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\
Snippet Item not present in New Item Dialog
SnippetDesigner.vsdir and SnippetFile.snippet file are present in the "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\NewFileItems" folder.
