VS Classification Type Names
If you're programming a syntax highlighting extension for Visual Studio, of course you'll want to use some of the pre-existing classification names in your language. You can use the IClassificationTypeRegistryService passed to the constructor of your IClassifier class to get an existing classification by name, but there does not seem to be any API to get a list of all the existing token types. Some, but not all, of the names are available in PredefinedClassificationTypeNames, which is a class in the Microsoft.VisualStudio.Language.StandardClassification assembly.
To get the other names, I inspected the registry object within the debugger and was able to get the following list. Strangely, however, I don't see anything that might correspond to "C# @verbatim" or (what I was really looking for) "Brace matching", which I wanted to use to make Sam's Brace Matching Tagger work properly.
