Yellow highlight ASP.NET directives?

michael · Aug 06, 2004#12004-08-06T13:08+00:00

Syntax highlighting works great, but is there a way to highlight in yellow anything between <%@ %> tags in a way similar to Visual Studio?

I'd like those lines to look like the currently selected line in Ultraedit.

Thanks

Sure!

Add Block Comment On Alt = <% Block Comment Off Alt = %> to the language definition line (/Lxx) of your syntax highlighting wordfile, if it not already exists.

Then goto Advanced - Configuration - Syntax Highlighting, select the correct language, select the color group Alternate Block Comments, select yellow for the background color and store this settings.

But then you loose the code syntax colors? Can you have both?
thx!

Is it possible to have background highlighting between <% and %> for ASP? If the feature is there, how do I make it work?

Crimson editor has this feature where they have a greyish tint between <% and %>

I ran a search for "background highlighting" but did not find a thread with an answer.

Thanks in advance.

Yes! You have to set the background color for language "VBScript Active Server Pages" at Advanced - Configuration - Editor Display - Syntax Highlighting.
