I know this is old, but I just found it today. I've used the latest version of CopySourceAsHTML for VS2003, but never could get it to work with VS2005. After searching for a couple of hours I discovered some alternatives:
After looking at all of these, the one I liked the most was Drazen Dotlic's Colorizer. But what I really wanted was a port of CopySourceAsHTML, so I started searching again and finally found out that dredge ported it for VS2005 and Jason Haley created an installer for it. I highly recommend this tool. It works for C#, VB.NET, SQL, etc and allows for easy copy and pasting for blog entries.
Download Jason Haley's installer here. After the install, you need to make one change:
-
In VS2005, go to Tools...Options...Environment...Add-in/Macros Security
-
Click Add.
-
Browse to the directory where you installed the port (default is C:\Program Files\J.T. Leigh & Associates\CopySourceAsHtml2005).
Here is a quick example of a c# method:
126 private static void ParseChannel(string value)
127 {
128 string[] chanAry = value.Split(new char[] {','});
129 Channel chan = new Channel();
130 chan.ServerId = mServer.Id;
131
132 foreach (string param in chanAry)
133 {
134 int startPos = param.IndexOf("=");
135 string data = param.Substring(startPos + 1);
136
137 if (param.IndexOf("CID=") > -1)
138 {
139 chan.ChannelId = int.Parse(data, CultureInfo.CurrentCulture);
140 }
141 else if (param.IndexOf("PID=") > -1)
142 {
143 chan.ParentChannelId = int.Parse(data, CultureInfo.CurrentCulture);
144 }
145 else if (param.IndexOf("PROT=") > -1)
146 {
147 chan.Protected = data == "1" ? true : false;
148 }
149 else if (param.IndexOf("NAME=") > -1)
150 {
151 chan.Name = data;
152 }
153 else if (param.IndexOf("COMM=") > -1)
154 {
155 chan.Comment = HexToChar(data);
156 }
157 }
158
159 if (chan.ParentChannelId.Value > 0)
160 {
161 mServer.AddChildChannel(chan);
162 }
163 else
164 {
165 mServer.AddChannel(chan);
166 }
167 }
This is a must-have tool. It's also listed as one of the "Ten Essential Tools" for Visual Studio. Take a look here.
