I've found a minor coloring issue with comments. I'm not sure if this is Visual Assist or Visual Studio.

IDE: Visual Studio 2005 Professional
VAX: Build 1555

Take the following comment block and put it in a file by itself. Ensure the syntax coloring options in VAX are at default settings:

///
/// This is just a convenience wrapper around
/// SetLocation(method::vector2<s32>)
///


Notice that the <s32> part is gray.

Again, minor issue.

Experience indicates that Visual Studio works in mysterious ways

Well, I use /// format for Doxygen comment parsing. However, I find it a little odd that Visual Studio parses XML syntax in a C++ file :)

Thanks guys.

There's the answer - <s32> is a tag in XML context.

That is a little odd. I am seeing the same thing, both with VA enabled and disabled. Since all the rest of VA's enhanced syntax colouring has disapeared when I disabled it I think it is safe to say the IDE is doing this, for some reason or other.

Change the comments to use // rather than /// and the effect goes away, I think this is a function of the IDE's handling of XML format comments.
