Coloring instance variables in Visual Studio

Is it possible to color instance (and static) variables in C# code in Visual Studio 2010, perhaps using a lightweight extension?

In following example name and age should be colored but test not. Of course, usages of variable highlighting is grat feature but this is something different. I want instance variables to be colored all and always. Many people use _underscores to distinguish instance variables but I prefer to use coloring.

public class Kid 
{
    private string name;
    private int age;

    public Kid() 
    {
        name = "N/A";
        string test = "XYZ";
    }
}
Solution

  • This is not possible directly with Visual Studio. However, if you install Resharper, you will get this option (as well as many other coloration options).
