Is there a size limit on code snippets in Visual Studio 2008?

I created a long code snippet with Snippet Editor. After saving I can see and use it within Visual Studio, however, the code is suddenly trunctated after about 120 lines and there appears some ga开发者_开发知识库rbled text at the end. Is there a size limit to code snippets? If yes, is this a visual studio, or a Snippet Editor "feature"?

Sounds to me you've found a buffer overflow bug in Visual Studio. You're well past the typical usage scenario for snippets, this wouldn't be tested often. Post your bug to connect.microsoft.com for feedback. Don't forget to document the service pack and IDE you use, as well as including the snippet. You didn't do that in your question but that's the only way anybody can truly diagnose this issue.

Snippets can be of at least a fairly big size: there was a coding error in the Snippet:

I used %Replace$ in stead of $Replace$. Seemingly the snippet engine crashed on this typo.
