I really like using code snippets in visual studio environment; unfortunately i dont have enough money to buy resharper :) so for code completion or code templates code snippets is my only choice. There are lot's of snippets that come with visual studio; they are stored @"D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC#\Snippets\1033" depending on your installation folder. As much as there is a lot, i would love to add my code snippets :) . All snippets files are xml files, and it has a structure that you have to learn, eventhough it is relatively easy i dont want to learn it :). I found this great tool that really helps you to create a snippet. You can download it from: http://billmccarthy.com/Projects/Snippet_Editor/ . Dont be mistaken with visual basic title, you can use it for c# too which actually i am using for. So you download this program, and run it, the rest is easy :). To show how it really is simple; lets create a snippet for console.writeline.
A lot of times i use Console.WriteLine("{0}",somevalue) , so why not use a snippet for it.

Run the snippet editor. Fill in the fields as below :

To add the the $param1$, first just write param1, select it with your mouse, right click on it, then select Add replacement. The snippet editor will create a variable, and wrap "param1" with $ and it will be changed to $param1$. This represents a variable in visual studio environment, so whenever you add this snippet, and use the tab key to iterate through your code, visual studio editor will select $param1$. Save this snippet to the code snippet folders of your own. Consuming it is very easy, while you are typing your code; just write consw (which is the shortcut we defined), and hit tab twice.  If you want to see a small flash video, here it is:
