code highlighting plugin for Visual Studio?

[DJFuji]

VS.NET colors the text of your code but sometimes i just want to highlight a section of code so i can distinguish it from something else next to it. I'm looking for either a plugin or add-on to VS or Dreamweaver MX 2004 that wiill alllow me to "highlight" in different colors like you can do with MS Word. This would be great with HTML too so that i could highlight a nested table for easier readability later. Anyone seen anything like this?

jsut use #region markers and collapse the stuff you dont want to look at.

I was going to suggest this also - but take note that, AFAIK, #region wont work in the HTML code.

You can't do that in VS6 though. Or HTML. Or ASP. And sometimes i just want to look at the whole page but have a specific section highlighted. Any other ideas?

Click mouse at beginning of section to be highlighted. Drag to end of section to be highlighted. Your code is now highlighted in blue.

There isn't going to be any plugin that works in every single text editor you want to use.

lol yeah that's what i do now but i wish i could get that blue highlighting to stay while I edit another piece of code. And maybe have different color codes for different higlighters. I really don't even need a plugin for every text editor. But even one plugin would work because i would just use that text editor for most of my development. I'm surprised no one has heard of something like this before.
