I would be very grateful for any advice on how to paste code from Visual Studio into a WordPress post. I have never found a plug-in or cut-and-paste pipeline that worked well for me.
[Edit 25 Sept 08 - I still haven't found a plug-in that works for me. But thanks to Sujeeth I have discovered pastebin.com, which for now looks like it's what I will want to use.]

Hey Man, not sure if you have already “googled” it, but someone asked me this before, I have not used wordpress, gonna move to it soon so I was looking at stuff like this and I found this

A friend said that one or more of these solutions worked well.
Also if you need quick text macros and ways of changing space and tab characters , I use Notepad++, nice ways way of getting stuff done.
Cheers Rob, I think I may need to try that.
I tried CopySourceAsHtml for http://robburke.net/2008/08/05/more-of-silverlight-sound-implementation-for-multimedia-app/

Sadly I lost my indentation again. Very frustrating.
Hmmm, might be the perpetual battle between tab and the 4 spaces thing, is there a way of replacing all tabs with non breaking spaces ?
I am prob preaching to the master here, but I intend to do the same thing soon and I am intersted in the outcome of this.
The code looks ok in the other 2 posts, but yea, the indentation thing is a bit of a downer.
You can use pastebin.com to paste your code as it displays in Visual Studio.

Sujeeth – I would have thought some Visual Studio add-in would work best – but that is the best solution I’ve found so far. Thank you very much for introducing me to pastebin.com!
