Color coding in the IDE for System Types (Int32, Double, etc)

visual studio .net ide:

I know that VS 6.0 supported the ability to color code a user defined list of
terms in the IDE. I would assume that VS2003/VS2005 would do the same. Can
anyone confirm or deny this and tell me how to do it?

Our developers would like to see items such as Int32, Int16, Double, and
others show up color coded like int, short, and double.

Thanks,

Hi Brian,

Yes, just like the Visual Studio 6, you can specify a user defined list of
terms as the "user keyword" to the VS.NET IDE, please refer to the
following MSDN article:

Defining Keywords in Visual C++
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vsintro7/ht
ml/vxtskDefiningKeywordsInVisualC.asp

Thanks!

What about for languages such as C# or VB.NET? We would like to have the
keywords Int32, Double, etc. color coded like keywords in these languages as
well. I tried your suggestions from the link, but it only appears to work
for C++.

Hi Brian,

No, except defining the custom keyword in VC++, it is impossible to
customize the color coding logic in VS.NET
2003. However, I suggest you can file a feedback on the MSDN product
feedback site, in order to let the product dev team get your concern on
this issue:

Thanks for your understanding!
