would it be possible to have all of the code in a #if 0 block coloured as comments?
i often use:
#if 0
// sample code
#endif
to keep chunks of sample code on hand and available for reference. i also use:
#if 0
// normal mode
#else
// alternative, debug version
#endif
when debugging complex functions. i can switch between one block and the other by simply swapping the 0 for a 1 and back again. this is a lot faster and easier than using:
/**
// normal mode
**/
/**
// alternative, debug version
**/
so, having the inactive block coloured as comments would be wonderful
currently i do most of my programming in Vim under UNIX, and i have set this up in the Vim C syntax highlighting rules. however, there doesn't seem to be any way for mere mortals to defining custom syntax highlighting rules in VS .NET 2003
