Importing syntax coloring configuration

Hi,

I'm trying to import the syntax coloring settings I set on another
installation of Visual Studio .NET, but I can't find any configuration
file or option to achieve this. How can this be done ?

Thank you for your help.

Hello Nicolas,

The fonts and colors are not stored in a config file, at least not in VS2002/2003. They are stored in the registry at:

\HKEY_CURRENT_U SER\Software\Mi crosoft\VisualS tudio\7.0\FontA ndColors\

(Note 7.0 for vs2002 or 7.1 for vs2003)

If you export that registry key and import that reg file in the other computer you want to give the settings to it will work. That is how I have done it in the past.

Thanks, Wes. This is what I was looking for.

If anyone with any influence reads this, it would be nice to have an
Import and Export button in the Options dialog for this.

I'm not aware of a _single_ version of the MS compiler/IDE line that would
transfer user settings from one version to the next.

Apparently Microsoft feels that user settings and their design guidelines only
apply to companies /other/ than Microsoft.

hello. I've got a simple question. I've searched on google for PHP scripts coloring syntax e.g. asm, c, c++, bash etc. I've only found some CGI, apps, modules for Apache - but i can't use them on my server (due to my restricted permissions - i can use only PHP and MySQL).

We have source files with extension ".pc", which we would like to be treated by the text editor as if they are ".cpp" files for the purpose of syntax coloring.

Hi. I would like to ask If somebody don't have any small sample to coloring XML syntax, e.g. in RichTextBox. It can be in VB.NET or C#. I watched on SharpDevelop, but I could not understand that code, which is coloring text. Thanks.

I'd like to show some XML text into an (editable) text box with some syntax coloring for tags, attributes etc. I don't need a full-blown commercial control, I'd just like to do some coloring on tags and the like. Is there any (possibly free!) C-Sharp control (based onto the RTF control, I imagine) or code sample for building a such control, or should I create my own from scratch? Thanks guys!

Hi, I've found the following behaviour on importing a variable from a module somewhat odd. The behaviour is identical in Python 2.5 and 3.0b2. In summary, here's what happens. I have a module, oddmodule.py (below), that defines a variable, OddVariable, by assigning a value A to it. The file I execute, mainfile.py, imports and re-binds OddVariable to a value B. I have two test modules which import the
