Enable syntax highlighting to the nant build files (VS 2003).

  • Create the key foo as shown here
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\7.1\Languages\File
    Extensions\.build
  • Inside that key create a new string value called "unused" (no quotes) and
    in the data portion enter "HTML" (no quotes)
  • For the default value copy the guid from the editor you want to emulate
    for the .build extension. I used the GUID from the default value in .xml key
    here "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\7.1\Languages\File
    Extensions\.xml
    "
  • Restart the shell, open a new web project, add an existing .build file
    (actually your nant file), open the file, and you should get the proper
    syntax highlighting.

Simple Visual Studio add-in that allows you to copy source as HTML

CopySourceAsHtml

Tweak Google search to handle more file extensions.

GDSPlus is a free add-on that allows you to specify what extensions the new Desktop Search tool from Google will index. This includes the ability to add new extensions not yet supported by Google. You will be able to search the contents of any file that can be indexed as text. Examples include:

  • .xml, .sql, .bat
  • .log (mIRC and Trillian)
  • .cs, .vb (Visual Studio .NET source code files)
  • .frm, .bas, .cls (Visual Basic 6 source code files)
  • .wpd (WordPerfect), .rtf (Rich Text File)

Additionally, adding non-ASCII file extensions such as .wav, .rar, .png, .psd etc. will index just the filenames for search (PDF content is still not searchable, however). You can also remove support for any of the extensions that Google included and you do not want indexed.

I will be there
