public bool IsDogLoose() {    throw new Exception("The method or operation is not implemented."); }

Wouldn't the generated code look 'nicer" if it just threw a "NotImplemented" exception like this...

public bool IsDogLoose() {    throw new NotImplementedException(); }

Although this might seem petty, it is pretty cool to note that you can customize any of the standard code snippets by opening the appropriate code snippet in your favorite xml editor.  You can find the code snippets here

The code snippet for GenerateMethodStub is called MethodStub.snippet and looks like this.

Ah, I think I can figure this out now.  Change $Exception$ to $NotImplementedException$.
