  Totally not a requirement, but would be nice nonetheless if the resulting code was formatted and colour coded.  I realize this would be an issue for a text box control, but maybe as an optional feature?  (i.e. check this box for formatted code)

  Hi Sean Gough,
  
  That's a great idea. We already have a basic code colorizer in the quick start framework, we might just try to implement something in the web version of the converter. Thanks for the heads up!

  Yep, pretty much a "Colorize and Export to Html" tool, pretty  similar to the colorizer (Format Code Block) snippet in rad Editor. It is often needed to copy/paste colored code in Html format - and this is very annoying to do by hand. So it would be a great option.

  Sean and Johan-
  
  Good ideas! I figured a formatted color output feature would eventually be requested, but I wanted to wait for the official "votes". Vladimir makes a good point about reusing the Telerik code formatter, so hopefully we'll be able to deliver this as an optional feature soon.
  
  Thanks~

  All-
  
  Ask and you shall receive. I have extracted the highlighting code from the Telerik Quickstart and added syntax highlighting to the Code Converter. Check out this blog post for the details and then visit the converter for the fun:
