Title: Syntax Highlighting Visual Studio 2005
Post by: PeterRod on November 12, 2008, 12:56:12 PM
I have been able to achieve syntax highlighting in MASM code in VS2005 using the methods outlined in this article Item # 7
www.kipirvine.com/asm/gettingStarted/index.htm (http://www.kipirvine.com/asm/gettingStarted/index.htm) 

I usually use the methods as described in Item # 4 to start a new VS2005 MASM project

However I remain with the following problems :
1. Syntax highlighting also occurs in comment lines  ( after the ;)

2. since the MASM code is being developed as an empty c++ project the Text Editor recognizes // as the default comment delimiter
    Is there a way to get VS2005 to recognize the ; as a comment delimiter and to change color to green?

3. Is there a way to get  Edit / 'comment selection' to work in VS2005 MASM projects

Thanks in advance for any help.
