PrettyCode.Print for VB6/VBA and PrettyCode.Print for .NET will no longer be further developed. Both products are converted into a free download in their current state. There will be no enhancements, improvements nor bug fixes for these two products. You can download PrettyCode.Print for VB6/VBA and PrettyCode.Print for .NET in the Community Downloads section.
PrettyCode.Print for .NET is a standalone managed application and VS.NET Add-In that supports both C# and VB.NET solutions. Add-In for VS 2008, VS 2005 and VS.NET 2003 is available.
Note: PCP.NET does not support VB6/VBA projects - PrettyCode.Print for VB6 is still to be used for that.
PCP.NET will print your WinForms source code when run it standalone or as VS.NET Add-In. PCP.NET will print your WebForms (ASP.NET) CodeBehind when use it as VS.NET Add-In.
