As there are still bloggers who use CopySourceAsHtml add-on for Visual Studio to get syntax highlighted code to their blog posts and there is no guidance in CSAH site how to make it work with Visual Studio
2010 I will give my guidance here. Almost all code in this blog is syntax highlighted by this add-on (read more from my post Visual Studio add-in: CopySourceAsHTML).
Last version of CSAH is available for VS2008 but it is easy to make it work with VS2010. Just follow these steps.
Close VS2010 if it is opened.
Goto folder MyDocuments\Visual Studio
2010.
Move to AddIns subfolder (create it if there is no such subfolder).
Create file called CopySourceAsHtml.AddIn and open it in text editor.
Paste the following XML to editor:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?>
<Extensibility xmlns="http://schemas.
microsoft.com/AutomationExtensibility">

<Name>Microsoft Visual Studio Macros</Name>
<Version>10.0</Version>

<HostApplication>

<Version>10.0</Version>

<Addin>
<FriendlyName>CopySourceAsHtml</FriendlyName>
<Description>Adds support to

Save file and close it.
Run VS2010 and activate add-on if it is not activated yet.
That’s it. If you are heavy user of CSAH then I recommend you to bookmark this post. :)
