Code Snippets for Common Tasks in Ado.net Data Services

[These code snippets are based on features in the SP1 RTM release, Read about it here : RTM is here! ]

Quite a few times, I forget the syntax for certain tasks while Creating a Data Service .
To avoid remembering the syntax, I came up with a couple of Code Snippets that I use for Query Interceptors and Change Interceptors.

You can download the Code Snippets Here 
[Edit : Alternate download link at the bottom of the post .]

Using the Code Snippets

1) Copy the above files into the
          %systemDrive%:\Users\<UserName>\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Code Snippets\Visual C#\My Code Snippets

2) Open Visual Studio and open the .SVC.CS file for the Data Service.
