I use a custom background color in the code windows and it is not being copied in. I'd say the CopyAsHtml VS add-in is still the best solution.

> RaderDotNet This is because of the use of a PRE HTML element and the way it works by default. All you need to do is add an overflow:auto to the PRE tag or the "code" CSS class.

This plugin is in my opinion the best plugin to copy and paste code from Visual Studio with. The other plugins that are used to insert code snippets perform the code colouring by themselves and do not copy the colour information from the code I've copied, so if I have configured Visual Studio with special colours, this plugin is the only one that does the job. I have also tried the Insert Formatted Clipboard plugin, but that requires me to paste the copied code first into Word, and the copy it from there and paste it into WLW in order to get the code to look exactly as in Visual Studio. Wit this plugin I can copy and paste directly from Visual Studio into WLW. Nice. So, I'm using this plugin to copy-paste code from Visual Studio and the "Insert Formatted Clipboard plugin to copy and paste text from other webpages.

Great work, thank you. + Features I like: - Extremely simple to use. Copy the code into your clipboard (Ctrl+C) and then run the plug-in by clicking it in the sidebar. Your code is pasted, with formatting :) - Format information (colors, spacing, etc.) is taken from the information in the clipboard - provided by Visual Studio - it's _not_ auto-generated. - Formatting is extremely clean HTML that _is editable in Web Layout mode_. - The code is wrapped with <pre class="code"> so it's easy to add a border or support overflow by adding a few CSS rules on your blog. + Feature Request: I have to Shift+Tab to remove margin space before copying, otherwise I have to remove the space in Windows Live Writer, which doesn't help when editing <pre> tags (you must be delicate or else the formatting can get screwed up). It would be great if the plug-in had the option to enable white-space stripping by looking for a simple pattern: the number of white-space characters that precede each line. If the same leading white-space is found for all of the lines, then remove all of it.

Thanks for this plugin. It is the best of all source pasting plugins, but if the source code contains accented characters in some string literals, they are replaced with some other letters. The text "Diskusní fórum" (these strange words are in Czech language) is replaced by "Diskusned ff3rum". Can you please resolve this bug?

I have only used it for a short while, but it appears to work great as advertised. It couldn't be simpler! Thank you Doug!

I find that just pasting the code in sometimes fails, and you get black and white. This plugin works.

It just does what it claims: Copy code to the clipboard in Visual Studio, switch to Live Writer, click "Insert from Visual Studio..." and get the highlighted code inserted. Just perfect for me needs (discussion of small code snippets).

Custom background colours can be fixed on the blog relatively easily, but still have a problem when viewed through Google Reader.

I have tried two other plugins "Insert Code" and "Code snippet Plugin" but "Paste from Visual Studio" is the best!
