Custom snippet with DateTime.Now

Question

I am trying to create a small custom code snippet for my C # code in VS2010. It basically inserts a block of comments for informational purposes. Inside this code, although I want the current date to be automatically inserted when inserting the fragment.

Here is the current snippet that I have:

<CodeSnippet Format="1.0.0"> <Header> <Title> C# Class Comments </Title> <Shortcut>ccom</Shortcut> </Header> <Snippet> <Declarations> <Object> <ID>DateTime</ID> <Type>System.DateTime</Type> <Function>DateTime.Now()</Function> </Object> <Literal> <ID>Author</ID> <ToolTip>Replace with name creator of class.</ToolTip> <Default>"Author name"</Default> </Literal> <Literal> <ID>Date</ID> <ToolTip>Replace with date class was created</ToolTip> <Default>"Date"</Default> </Literal> <Literal> <ID>Modified</ID> <ToolTip>Replace with modified date of class</ToolTip> <Default>"Modified"</Default> </Literal> <Literal> <ID>Description</ID> <ToolTip>Replace with a short description of what the class is used for</ToolTip> <Default>"Description"</Default> </Literal> </Declarations> <Code Language="CSharp"> <![CDATA[ //*******************************************************************************; // Author: $Author$ // Created Date: $DateTime$ // Modified Date: $Modified$ // Description: $Description$ //*******************************************************************************; ]]> </Code> </Snippet> </CodeSnippet> 

What do I need to do to insert the date when the fragment was inserted into the code?

This, unfortunately, is not real. Snippet Visual Studio does not support replacement macros for items such as current date / time
