HTML (C#)

[![][badge-version]][marketplace] [![][badge-installs]][marketplace]

This extension is a port of the [HTML (C#)][st-package] extension for [Sublime Text][st]. It provides syntax highlighting for HTML files with embedded C#, such as .aspx, .cshtml, and .master.

Features

Highlighting

• Embedded C# () • The runat="server" must immediately follow the tag opening. • Comment blocks () • The Response.Write expressions (Ctrl+/ or Cmd+/) • Snippets for are not highlighted. They should not interfere with other sections of code. Highlighting would work for self-contained blocks, but not for blocks containing unclosed braces (). Since those blocks are potentially destructive to highlighting for the rest of the file, the C# syntax is not injected into those contexts. It is impossible to determine whether a certain block contains unbalanced braces when deciding whether to inject the C# syntax.

This behavior stems from [VS Code issue #20488][vscode-20488] wherein the syntax engine eagerly expects a closing brace that does not appear until after the %>. You can observe the same issue in the HTML syntax. Open a new VS Code tab, set it to the HTML syntax, and add this content:

Files use the "Plain Text" icon

Unless you use a custom icon theme, files highlighted by this package will use the Plain Text icon. [VS Code issue #14662][vscode-14662] would allow package authors to designate icons for their packages without releasing a comprehensive icon theme.

Bracket matching

Because ) as <% has, when your cursor is on the closing sequence, the opening sequence will only mark the <% part, even if the next character is also part of the expression.

Release Notes

See the [change log][changelog].

To-Do

• Inject custom tag attribute for runat="server" • Consider namespaced tags to be legitimate. Perhaps even specially identify asp-namespaced tags.
