Alexey Rusakov on Sitecore development - Copy Html from Visual Studio

Wednesday, April 19, 2006

I used to have a CopySourceAsHtml visual studio add in to post sharply formatted code to blog. But it produced really dirty html which actually made my dasBlog unhappy and for some reason it doesn’t work well (or just doesn’t work) in vs2005.

Here’s a really nice macro on coding horror that works in any visual studio version and creates a much cleaner code. It’s a bit painful to install, but then you can assign a shortcut and forget. Mine is ctrl-c + ctrl-c.

Update: which wasn't a great idea for a hotkey..

You might want to take a look at http://www.carlosag.net/Tools/CodeColorizer/Default.aspx (offline code colorizer tool) or http://www.chami.com/colorizer/ (online). Is a matter of personal taste I suppose, but I try to keep too much clutter out of my actual development environment ;-)

I agree. Macro works great for me, because it doesn't clutter the right click menu and I can assign a shortcut. Another app would be too much work for me, but thanks for the online link - visual studio is not the only source of code.
