Helper to beautify your code snapshots here!

Ok....I have been learning C#.NET all new and posting as various problems/questions arose lately.

Here is the result. I did this really just as a fun project for another website I frequent who happens to also use vBulletin boards (just like these codeguru boards).

vBulletin uses vBCode formatting or pseudo-Html to format color, bold, etc....


Here is a zip of my project's executable which you can use to copy the code (which in Visual Studio is in RTF format to show the syntax highlighting) and convert it to vBCode so that when you post a code sample, it maintains the syntax highlighting and is much more readable.

Hope you enjoy.

Ok....attach file size is too small (100 K ? Come on mods...that's not big enough to attach anything).

Ok...I'll host it at this location (which may die one day before long as its a school account which I have graduated from already).

An example:

Code:
