VB.NET syntax highlighting?[Resolved]
I have no idea how difficult it is to add some of the VB.NET (and probably C#.NET also) language keywords to the previous VB code highlighting . You know, just to identify them in blue color . I believe this would make VB.NET Forum most updated and would make the members more impressed.

Some of the new keywords :[the ones not in blue]
VB Code:
```
Friend
Protected
Overloads
Interface
Implements
MustInherit
NotInheritable 
Overrides
MustOverride
```
Thanks .:)

Adding hacks, modifying current hacks, or modifying the current board code is frowned upon around here, because they don't want to have to do it again when they update the forum software (bleh).

And an Administrator would probably have to do this, not a Moderator.

So...Brad...Gus?

It looks to me as if Brad is trying to implement a solution as we speak: http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.p...hreadid=253802 :)

I've hacking the hack, but it isn't happening. I've made the appropriate change to add the list of new terms, but it isn't working. I'm going to let it sit and look at it again tomorrow.

Brad

If I can't do it, then it won't happen until after the upgrade of vBulletin.

This (the date) is in the hands of the Jupitermedia administrators.

We have a copy of the new version installed and have been testing it out. There are some issues that I've identified that have to be fixed before it can be rolled out to any of our sites. For example, quoting doesn't work right.

In the mean time, I'll work on the code for the vb coloring again tomorrow.

Brad!

Can you give me more details on what this bug is?

Thanks,

I posted it a long time ago, but basically:

PHP Code:

//this is my code here
VB Code:
```
'this is my code here
```
Notice how the php tag creates extra newlines above and below the code. It's really annoying and kinda looks tacky.

Hey Brad,

Is the PHP tag a hack or is it just a custom vB Code tag? If it's a custom tag, can you tell me what the vB Code Replacement is set at?

I was looking at the HTML generated for the page, and figured out a way to remove the extra lines.

Nevermind. I did some researching and found out that the PHP tag is hard coded into the scripts, so I'm guessing you wouldn't want to bother with it if you're just going to be updating soon anyways.

Maybe the new version will fix it? :)

In version 3, there is no spacing added before or after php code when using the php tags.

Any progress regarding new .NET Keywords ??:rolleyes:

They were being messed with in the testing forum, I saw. Don't know whether normal users can see that...

I've seen it once .

The testing forum is public.

I made changes to the php file. These changes should have gone immediately live, but didn't. I've asked the server admins to look into why the php changes didn't show on the live server. I'm waiting on a reply.

I didn't take the time to look up all the new VB keywords. I added those in the list provided earlier in this thread. If you look in the testing forum, you'll see the list of terms I added as well as the complete list of terms in the script for VB (they are in one of my test messages).

The change for the PHP spacing didn't work. I've incorporated the suggested code change.

It looks like it did work, somewhat. There is no longer an extra space under the code. Did you miss something, by chance?

Thanks for looking into it, Brad. :)

If Brad can get the other half of the PHP tag fixed, I think I might have to start a campaign to get him a raise. :D

Where in that quote do you gather that it was solved? I was telling him that it was fixed on the bottom of the text, but not the top.

So it is somewhat solved, but indeed, not solved.

Hmm , you should've started your own thread with PHP title or so . This thread should be strictly for VS.NET highlighting problem . :)

I did. A long time ago. :rolleyes:

okay, the PHP is 1/2 resolved. It has been changed to the suggested fix that was posted earlier in this thread. It should actually be working on both the top and bottom, but obviously is not. I've dug a little into the code, but will have to dig a lot deeper to figure out what is still wrong.

The VB highlighting is now under control. As I mentioned, I didn't validate keywords. I can, however, get to the code to make changes if additional words come up. I'm guessing words like partial and generic may be added soon....

Regardless, I'm closing this thread as resolved. Any new changes to a new thread.

(I'll post a reminder thread on the PHP).

Brad!
