Macro or tip to have automatically updated file headers ?

[BlueTrin]

Is there any way to maintain automatically a header file like this:

/*
*
************************************************** ********************************
* JJStep_RateInstance.cs
* Author: Anthony Nguyen on 02/11/07 11:10:00
* Last Modified by: Anthony Nguyen on 02/11/07 11:00:00

*
*
************************************************** ********************************
*/

which will automatically be created when you create a new file or when
you press a certain combination of keys at the top of the current
file.
It would also update the last modified line when saving.

I have no experience with Visual Studio macros.

Thanks very much for reading this !

Anthony,

With new files, you can actually find the templates in the VS.NET
install directory (or create your own) which have the appropriate
information at the top.

However, when saving, you will have to actually create a add-in for
VS.NET which will update the information for you, so it's better to just
look into creating an add-in and doing all the work there. It's going to be
more work than just a macro, mind you.
