Are the <References> and <Imports> tags supposed to work for C# code snippets? - visual-studio-2017

Question

Microsoft has conflicting documentation for custom code snippets. According to this page:
You can add a reference to a project by using the References element, and add an Imports declaration by using the Imports element. (This works for C# as well.)
But then, the schema reference documentation contradicts that and says:
The Imports element is only supported for Visual Basic projects.
I'm currently trying to use the <References> and <Imports> elements for a C# snippet, and it works with the shortcut, but it does not add the using statements or references.
Here is the XML for the .snippet file that I'm testing with:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<CodeSnippets xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/2005/CodeSnippet">
<CodeSnippet Format="1.0.0">
<Header>
<Title>Test snippet</Title>
<Author>Test Author</Author>
<Description>Test Description</Description>
<Shortcut>test1</Shortcut>
</Header>
<Snippet>
<Code Language="CSharp">
<![CDATA[Console.WriteLine("Hello World.");]]>
</Code>
</Snippet>
<References>
<Reference>
<Assembly>System.Windows.Forms.dll</Assembly>
</Reference>
<Reference>
<Assembly>System.Drawing.dll</Assembly>
</Reference>
</References>
<Imports>
<Import>
<Namespace>System.Windows.Forms</Namespace>
</Import>
<Import>
<Namespace>System.Drawing</Namespace>
</Import>
</Imports>
</CodeSnippet>
</CodeSnippets>
Are <References> and <Imports> really supported by C#? Or is it only supported by Visual Basic?

Answer 1

It does work for C# as well, you just have to put the References and Imports inside of the <Snippet></Snippet>.
Example:
<Snippet>
<References>
<Reference>
<Assembly>System.dll</Assembly>
</Reference>
</References>
<Imports>
<Import>
<Namespace>System.ComponentModel</Namespace>
</Import>
</Imports>
<Code Language="CSharp">
<![CDATA[
]]>
</Code>
<Declarations>
<Literal>
<ID>ModelClass</ID>
<Default>object</Default>
</Literal>
</Declarations>
</Snippet>
