Answer 1

You are probably referring to code snippets. The docs explain how to create new snippets and how to add them. It might be easiest to create new ones based on existing snippets that can be found in the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VC#\Snippets\1033\Visual C# (depending on your VS version and OS).

Answer 2

In visual studio has more default snippets which is in

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio (#Version)\VC#\Snippets\1033

file path as a xml format.

Also we can add some more custom snippets to our local machine.This is machine specific.
