display of brace matching, syntax highlighting

Hi,
I'm not sure if this is an appropriate place to ask this but after using the Visual micro add-on for some time now, I have been hunting for a setting to give the same type of brace-matching as in the pic (the vertical dotted lines).
Is this possible in the visual studio editor?
I find it easier to follow the code with this type of aid but have been unable to find a customizable setting in any of the menus.
Any help would be appreciated� Smiley
Thanks!

Hi,

Many of the pictures on the web site are from Visual Studio which has some nice features.

If you have a small starter "business" which can normally be setup for very little cash you can then sign up for Microsoft's BizSpark and get VS pro for free for a few years.

In Atmel Studio you might have to resort to an extension if there is one but also you should look at the VisualAssistX options because they might help a bit.

For example you can switch on active line highlight and also set a different color for matches braces. The latter does help spot the end of a code block and the active line highlight is useful in combination with break points.

After you have exhausted the VisualAssistX options ...

The Xfeatures extension works in atmel 6.1 not sure about 6.2 and it provides additional code and error/warning + syntax highlighting.

Sorry I can't be of more use but if you find anything useful please post
