Copy Source Code as HTML Add-In for VS2010?

Question

I've been unable to find such an add-in for VS2010, I only found it for earlier versions.

Does anyone know where I can find a newer version?

Answer 1

It looks like Code4Blog will do what you're looking for. I just tried it out and it seems pretty good!

Personally though, if it's an option I highly suggest you go with SyntaxHighlighter over the Html produced by this or other similar extensions because it keeps the source code more lightweight and easy to copy/paste.

You can install the VS2008 version of CopySourceAsHtml (from here), and then manually edit the CopySourceAsHtml.AddIn file located at C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Addins so that both Version elements are 10.0:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?>
<Extensibility xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/AutomationExtensibility"&gt;

Answer 3

Be aware that if you install CopySourceAsHtml via that hack it WILL slow down your startup time by quite a bit. It works, but you may only want to enable it when you need it.

Answer 4

You need to install the Visual Studio Productivity Power Tools, which includes just such an extension (along with many others).
