Unlike previous version of Visual Studio (2005, 2008), which used to display inactive code block in grayed mode, the new version - VS 2010 - would display them in faded down color (core colors will be preserved).For example:#ifdef _DEBUGvoid CClass::AssertValid(){ ASSERT(this); ...

#ifdef _DEBUG
void CClass::AssertValid()
{ 
   ASSERT(this);
   // Some code
}
#endif

Will be displayed in same color, but with color intensity down - if _DEBUG is not defined.

Obviously, it is applicable for all languages that have conditional compilation thing.

Try yourself!

Started programming with GwBasic back in 1996 (Those lovely days!). Found the hidden talent!

Touched COBOL and Quick Basic for a while.

Finally learned C and C++ entirely on my own, and fell in love with C++, still in love! Began with Turbo C 2.0/3.0, then to VC6 for 4 years! Finally on VC2008/2010.

I enjoy programming, mostly the system programming, but the UI is always on top of MFC! Quite experienced on other environments and platforms, but I prefer Visual C++. Zeal to learn, and to share!
