I'm looking for a C# syntax highlighter that will take my C# code and turn it into standalone HTML that is neatly tagged. I have found some websites that offer this but only output HTML that is coupled with a CSS stylesheet. If anyone knows if what I'm describing exists please gimme a link!

The Python tool Pygments looks like it can do what you want and much more besides. I believe it supports many languages, including C#.
- a wide range of common languages and markup formats is supported
- special attention is paid to details that increase highlighting quality
- support for new languages and formats are added easily; most languages use a simple regex-based lexing mechanism
- a number of output formats is available, among them HTML, RTF, LaTeX and ANSI sequences
- it is usable as a command-line tool and as a library

When I last used it, I got standalone HTML from the CopySourceAsHtml plugin to Visual Studio. (I stopped using it only because I prefer the linked CSS approach.)

The appeal of this plugin is that it will match the styling of your Visual Studio theme, whatever that may be.
