Functions in CodeSnippets - SyntaxEditor for Windows Forms Forum

I have a working codesnippet. Now i want to fill a Literal with the result of a function. So i added in a declaration the line:
<Function>System.DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString()</Function>

Still it uses the specified default value. Should i call some method?

I guess implementing this yourself is the way to go? No standard function available i think:(


        protected override void OnCodeSnippetActivating(CodeSnippetEventArgs e) {
            foreach (CodeSnippetDeclaration decl in e.CodeSnippet.Declarations) {
                if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(decl.Function)) {
                    switch (decl.Function.ToLower()) {
                        case "date":
                            decl.Default = DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString();
                            break;
                        default:
                            break;


                    }
                }
            }
            base.OnCodeSnippetActivating(e);
        }
