Is it possible to copy code from Visual Studio and paste formatted code to OneNote?

Question

Is there a way to copy code from visual studio (C#) and paste it into OneNote, without losing the formatting?

I was able to do this, but only if I copy from VS, paste

Answer 1

This is an option that seems to be disabled by default.

To enable (in VS 2019):

1. Go to Tools -> Options

2. type copy in the search box

3. Under Text Editor -> Advanced...

4. Check Copy rich text on copy/cut

Top copy as formatted

Once the feature is enabled, depending on the target, this may be a two-step process. If, after copying and pasting code, it still appears as unformatted (e.g. if pasting into a web browser), use the approach suggested by marcus, by first pasting into wordpad.exe (start -> run -> type wordpad), then copying the text from within Wordpad again, and pasting into the target application/browser.
