Associates custom attributes with C# code snippets to update
the custom attribute values.
Note: The Create or Update Custom Attributes
configuration dialog is not intended as a complete replacement for Visual
Studio.NET. It is recommend that you create a C# project that you can use as a
"scratch pad" so that you have full access to Intellisense and other built-in
tools while constructing your snippets. This will help in avoiding simple
syntax mistakes and other errors.
