code syntax highlighter

Question

Hi all,

I'm looking for an auto syntax highlighter. when I specify the starting point and the ending point of the code the syntax highlighter should automatically identify the type of code (e.g. sql, vb, cs, JavaScript etc) and highlight accordingly.

Please let me know if anyone did this before, or if you know any site which does that.

I am using it for asp.net vs2008.

I highly recommend google-code-prettify which is used here on Stack Overflow (I also use it on my blog - it is very simple to use and works well).

A Javascript module and CSS file that allows syntax highlighting of source code snippets in an html page.

I use SyntaxHighlighter - it's excellent.
