When you paste code into a reply it doesn't get formatted correctly, which makes it difficult to read.
Is there any way to mark code in the message input text box so that when its displayed its correctly formatted ? Could a feature like that be added ?
Could you paste an example code peice that gives you problems? What are you copying from? VS?
Josh,
Here is an example:
using
System;using
System.Collections.Generic;using
System.Text;namespace
Namespace{
public class Class1{
private string _Value;public string Array{
get { return _Value; }set { _Value = value; }}
}
}
This was pasted directly from VS2005. You can see that the spaces were removed and every line is double-spaced.
Yup, It's a bit annoying having to go in afterwards and switch it to single space. I'd also like to see code paste as a fixed with font (Courier New) for example. So, instead of:
Private Sub DrawControl(ByVal g As Graphics)g.Clear(Color.Black)
T.Start()
g.TranslateTransform(0,
Me.ClientSize.Height \ 2)g.ScaleTransform(0.5, -1)
g.DrawLines(m_Pen, m_Points)
T.Stop()
'g.ResetTransform()
Call DrawInterval(g, T.Duration)Me.Invalidate()End Sub
We would have:
Private Sub DrawControl(ByVal g As Graphics)But maybe that's just me...
This has been reported to the forums team as a bug...the same problem exists when copying and pasting from Word.

A quick work-around, less the coloured keywords:
Personally, I find indentation more useful than coloured keywords, but that's just personal preference. It'd be nice to have both.
default use of <P> markers in the rich-edit text-box. The default
behaviour has now been changed to insert <BR> marks instead, so
all pastings should now only be one carriage-return per line, rather
than two. Great!
