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 2005, VS.NET 2003 and VS.NET 2002 is supported.

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.
