Unlike previous version of Visual Studio (2005, 2008), which used to display inactive code block in grayed mode, the new version - VS 2010 - would display them in faded down color (core colors will be preserved).For example:#ifdef _DEBUGvoid CClass::AssertValid(){ ASSERT(this); ...
Unlike previous version of Visual Studio (2005, 2008), which used to display inactive code block in grayed mode, the new version - VS 2010 - would display them in faded down color (core colors will be preserved).

For example:
#ifdef _DEBUG
void CClass::AssertValid()
{ 
   ASSERT(this);
   // Some code
}
#endif

Will be displayed in same color, but with color intensity down - if _DEBUG is not defined.

Obviously, it is applicable for all languages that have conditional compilation thing.

Try yourself!
