Indeed, most times you write the events at a time, maybe in a region and the trigger methods afterwards in another region; but then you do the same with local fields and properties, and yet the prop snippet comes in handy. Therefore I thought a simple event code snippet would be useful. You can download it here and then copy it to your Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC#\Snippets\1033\Visual C#\ directory

or, copy/paste from below:
