How to include a code snippet in a beamer presentation?

Question

What's the best way to include some code snippets in a beamer presentation?

I've already tried verbatim, and lstlisting environments - both destroyed my presentation.

Answer 1

Use the [fragile] option:

\begin{frame}[fragile]
\begin{verbatim}
...
\end{verbatim}
\end{frame}

I've already tried this, with a strange result. The slide with code looks OK, but all slides before have paper size changed to A4. – Gaal

That is very strange indeed, as the "paper size" should be 128mm times 96mm to reflect the 4:3 ratio of most beamers output. You didn't fiddle around with that setting, did you? – Complicated

Answer 2

I recently used something like

\verbatiminput{blah.c}

in a beamer presentation, and it worked alright for me...

Wanna post your code?
