Best Live Writer plugins to post code snippets on WordPress?

by

I have a blog about programming hosted on WordPress.com. To post code snippets I use the SyntaxHighlighter plugin that is installed on that platform, and I’m very happy with it.

Now, I’d like to use Windows Live Writer to write my articles, because it’s much more convenient than the web-based editor. I found many WLW plugins to post code snippets, but it would take ages to try them all… also, most of them seem to do their own formatting, or need custom CSS (which I’d prefer to avoid because it’s not free). Ideally, I’d like to be able to continue using the SyntaxHighlighter WP plugin mentioned above, which allows me to simply paste code between [sourcecode] tags, like so:

[sourcecode language="csharp"]
public class SimpleGrid : Grid
{
    public IList<GridLength> Rows { get; set; }
    public IList<GridLength> Columns { get; set; }
}
[/sourcecode]

Which WLW plugins would you recommend ? Is there one that can produce the markup shown in the snippet above ?

EDIT: This one does exactly what I want, thanks to jjeaton for the link !

Here is a WLW plugin that seems to do what you want, made specically for WordPress.com hosted blogs.
