Hi all,

I'm not sure if this is a coloring problem with VAX or VS 2005, but is there a way to make it go away (that is, have similar symbols colored with the same color)? Or is there something that I overlooked?

Here is a screenshot of what I mean, look at AppendLine() and Insert() for the StringBuilder.

(Note, that I made minor edits to the screenshot: I removed the red wavy lines from under the ellipsis and colored it black (the '...').)

which version of VA and which IDE are you using?
inserting this code into a C# project on my machine, using VS2005 and VA 1538 I am seeing:

I have set VA to show functions in orange, and stable symbols in italic.

What happens if you turn on:

VA Options -> Environment -> Fonts and Colors -> Stable symbols in Italic

my system suggests that the StringBuilder functions should be shown in italic. if they are not this suggests VA is having problems understanding C# on your system.

zen is the art of being at one with the two'ness

... and you might as well install build 1538 if you haven't already.

to make life easier next time around, the text is:

StringBuilder oSB = new StringBuilder();

if ( bSomeCondition )
    oSB.AppendLine ( "SomeText" );

if ( oSB.Length > 0 )
{
    oSB.Insert ( 0, ValidateErrorMessageHeader );
    sError = oSB.ToString ();
}
else
    sError = String.Empty;

now we can just copy / paste it, rather than having to re-type it each time.
