A while ago I started a blog. In the beginning I came across a visual studio add-in for showing sources as HTML. I just had to test it. You can find the tool here CopySourceAsHtml.
A result of this add-in is the one below.
250 private static void MakeFileWritable(FileSystemInfo dsInfo)
251 {
252 FileAttributes flags;
253 flags = dsInfo.Attributes;
254 if (flags == FileAttributes.ReadOnly)
255 {
256 flags &= ~FileAttributes.ReadOnly;
257 }
258 dsInfo.Attributes = flags;
259 }
I think it looks pretty kewl. It wasn’t a smart thing to use the horrible colours on the download page. Luckily the html will look exactly the same as it looks in visual studio.

I take your point about the ugly colors. I was looking for the most extreme colors possible to demonstrate the tool’s ability to handle the different foreground and background colors in the line numbers, the edited text, etc. I’ll likely update the site with more examples, and choose some more normal colors. 🙂
Thanks for recommending CopySourceAsHtml!
