Prettify JS - Syntax Highlighting

Tue, 05 May 2009 00:00:00 GMT

This is a test of syntax highlighting using the excellent Prettify JS library.

VBA Example

Public Function InCollection(col As Collection, key As String) As Boolean
  Dim var As Variant
  Dim errNumber As Long

  InCollection = False
  Set var = Nothing

  Err.Clear
  On Error Resume Next
    var = col.Item(key)
    errNumber = CLng(Err.Number)
  On Error GoTo 0

  '5 is not in, 0 and 438 represent incollection
  If errNumber = 5 Then ' it is 5 if not in collection
    InCollection = False
  Else
    InCollection = True
  End If

End Function

Prettify and VB comments

If you need Prettify to work with VB, VBA and VB.net you'll need to make sure you include the lang-vb.js file along with prettify.js. You will have problems with VB comments if you don't load lang-vb (see Prettify Issues for more detail).

<script type="text/javascript" src="/External/css/prettify/prettify.js" > </script >
<script type="text/javascript" src="/External/css/prettify/lang-vb.js" > </script >

Then add PRE block around your code eg:

<PRE class="prettyprint lang-vb">
 Function SomeVB() as string
   ' do stuff
 End Function
</PRE>

If you are experiencing problems with prettify and VB comments it's probably because you haven't loaded lang-vb.js in addition to prettify.js

public partial class UserControls_EMailForm : System.Web.UI.UserControl
{

    private string _toemail;

    public string ToEMail
    {
        get { return _toemail; }
        set { _toemail = value; }
    }

    private string _smtpserver;

    public string SmtpServer
    {
        get { return _smtpserver; }
        set { _smtpserver = value; }
    }

	

    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        string subject = Request.QueryString["s"];
        success.Visible = false;
        if(!string.IsNullOrEmpty(subject)){
          SubjectTextBox.Text = subject;
          SubjectTextBox.Enabled = false;
        }
        
        
    }
