It would be nice if VisualAssist would support a parsing
of all defined macros, then to have an option to hide the
code that is not compiled based on that.

For example:
#ifdef OPTION
..
codeA
..
#else
..
codeB
..
#endif

If somewhere in the code you have #define OPTION you could see
only codeA. If OPTION is not defined you could see only codeB.

VS2005 will highlight code that is not currently being compiled.

VA is designed to help you write code, even if it is not currently being compiled. A good example of why is people who compile on two different OS's, e.g. Windows and Unix, as I have often done. I do nearly all of my editing in the IDE with the help of VA, but I still want VA's help on code that will not compile under Windows.

The other element is that VA is not actually a compiler, and it does not automatically have access to all of the information required to work out which pre-processor definitions are currently live.
