If you want to see the list of all available snippets:

Press Ctrl + K and then X.

Type ctor, and then press TAB twice.

For the full list of snippets (little bits of prefabricated code) press Ctrl+K and then Ctrl+X.

Works in Visual Studio 2013 with a C# project.

So how to make a constructor

1. Press Ctrl+K and then Ctrl+X
   


2. Select Visual C#


3. Select ctor


4. Press Tab
   

Update: You can also right-click in your code where you want the snippet, and select Insert Snippet from the right-click menu

In Visual Studio 2010, if you type "ctor" (without the quotes), IntelliSense should load, showing you "ctor" in the list. Now press TAB twice, and you should have generated an empty constructor.

Simply type ctor then press TAB.

Type ctor, and then press the Tab key.

Type ctor and Tab.

I don't know about Visual Studio 2010, but in Visual Studio 2008 the code snippet is 'ctor'.

Type the name of any code snippet and press TAB.

To get code for properties you need to choose the correct option and press TAB twice because Visual Studio has more than one option which starts with 'prop', like 'prop', 'propa', and 'propdp'.

For Visual Studio 2017 press "Ctrl + ."

Should you be interested in creating the 'ctor' or a similar class-name-injecting snippet from scratch, create a .snippet file in the C# snippets directory (for example C:VS2017VC#Snippets1033Visual C#C#Snippets.snippet) with this XML content:

<CodeSnippets>

    <CodeSnippet>

        <Header>

            <Title>ctor</Title>

            <Shortcut>ctor</Shortcut>

        </Header>

        <Snippet>

            <Declarations>

                <Literal Editable="false"><ID>classname</ID><Function>ClassName()</Function></Literal>

            </Declarations>

            <Code>

                <![CDATA[public $classname$($end$)

                {



                }]]>

            </Code>

        </Snippet>

    </CodeSnippet>

</CodeSnippets>

This snippet injects the current class name by way of calling C# code snippet function ClassName(), detailed on this docs.microsoft page.

The end result of expanding this code snippet:

As mentioned by many "ctor" and double TAB works in Visual Studio 2017 but it only creates the constructor with none of the attributes.

To auto-generate with attributes (if there are any), just click on an empty line below them and press CTRL+.. It'll display a small pop-up from which you can select the "Generate Constructor..." option.
