Code Paste Add In for Windows Live Writer

UPDATED 10/25/2008 Code Sections Formatting Fixed With CSS

What I’m using is available Plugin Collection for Windows Live Writer on Codeplex.  This comes in real useful when getting code into a blog entry.  Because straight pasting really doesn’t do so well for readability.

So here are my test code pastes.  A basic view in C#.

   1:  using System;
   2:  using System.ComponentModel;
   3:  using System.Windows.Forms;
   4:  using Microsoft.Practices.Unity;
   5:  using Tsr.SeatingSystem.Controller;
   6:  using Tsr.SeatingSystem.Controller.Views;
   7:  using Tsr.SeatingSystem.WinForm.Properties;
   8:  using Tsr.SeatingSystem.WinForm.Seating;
   9:   
  10:  namespace Tsr.SeatingSystem.WinForm
  11:  {
  12:      public partial class SeatingSystemMainView : Form, ISeatingSystemMainView
  13:      {
  14:          private TsrController controller;
  15:   
  16:          public SeatingSystemMainView()
  17:          {
  18:              InitializeComponent();
  19:              Icon = Resources.Clock;
  20:          }
  21:   
  22:          [Dependency]
  23:          public TsrController Controller
  24:          {
  25:              get { return controller; }
  26:              set
  27:              {
  28:                  controller = value;
  29:                  controller.SetSeatingSystemMainView(this);
  30:              }
  31:          }
  32:  
  33:          #region View Events & Raise Events
  34:  
  35:          public event EventHandler SeatingSystemMainView_Load;
  36:          public event EventHandler ExitToolStripMenuItem_Click;
  37:          public event EventHandler TicketingToolStripMenuItem_Click;
  38:          public event EventHandler SeatingToolStripMenuItem_Click;
  39:          public event EventHandler ReservationsToolStripMenuItem_Click;
  40:          public event EventHandler OptionsToolStripMenuItem_Click;
  41:          public event EventHandler AboutToolStripMenuItem_Click;
  42:          public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;

Some basic SQL.

   1:  /****** Object:  View [dbo].[tmtUserListing]    Script Date: 07/06/2008 01:27:11 ******/
   2:  IF  EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.views WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[tmtUserListing]'))
   3:  DROP VIEW [dbo].[tmtUserListing]
   4:  GO
   5:  /****** Object:  View [dbo].[tmtUserListing]    Script Date: 07/06/2008 01:27:11 ******/
   6:  SET ANSI_NULLS ON
   7:  GO
   8:  SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
   9:  GO
  10:  IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.views WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[tmtUserListing]'))
  11:  EXEC dbo.sp_executesql @statement = N'CREATE VIEW dbo.tmtUserListing
  12:  AS
  13:  SELECT     dbo.tmtUsers.UserId, GrandCentral.dbo.aspnet_Users.UserName
  14:  FROM         dbo.tmtUsers LEFT OUTER JOIN
  15:                        GrandCentral.dbo.aspnet_Users ON dbo.tmtUsers.UserId = GrandCentral.dbo.aspnet_Users.UserId
  16:  '
  17:  GO

Some XAML (Which technically isn’t on the list, but I formatted it via HTML)

   1:  <UserControl x:Class="SecurityAdministratorWpf.Login"
   2:      xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
   3:      xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
   4:      Height="225" Width="410">
   5:      <Grid>
   6:          <Button Height="23"
   7:                  HorizontalAlignment="Right" 
   8:                  Margin="0,0,28,15"
   9:                  Name="buttonLogin" 
  10:                  VerticalAlignment="Bottom"
  11:                  Width="75" 
  12:                  ToolTip="Click to login.">Login</Button>
  13:      </Grid>
  14:  </UserControl>
