Is there a way to copy code from visual studio (C#) and paste it into OneNote, without losing the formatting?
I was able to do this, but only if I copy from VS, paste to Word, copy from Word, and then paste to OneNote.

There is fortunately a solution for Visual Studio 2010! Install the Visual Studio 2010 Pro Power Tools extension and copy/paste to OneNote retains syntax highlighting. Made me a happy man;)

You have hit the nail on the head on the process. The application that you are pasting to must be able to accept the code with the formatting properly. MS Word is one of the few that handles this properly, therefore, going from VS -> Word -> OneNote will work. But VS -> OneNote doesn't work.
For Visual Studio 2008 ---- http://blogs.msdn.com/b/johnguin/archive/2010/11/29/an-addin-to-help-visual-studio-users-with-moving-code-to-onenote.aspx
NoteHighlight will do the trick. I found it through the following blog post, codefoster.
There is an add-in for Microsoft Visual Studio that allows you to copy source code, syntax highlighting, and line numbers as HTML.
With this add-in, you can copy from VS and paste HTML directly to your target.
Check it out here: CopySourceAsHtml
Try this elegant solution directly from Microsoft: Productivity Power Tools 2015

The HTML copy-paste works nicely with OneNote.
The GEM OneNote addon has a syntax highlighting feature -> http://www.onenotegem.com/blog/onenote-insert-highlight-syntax-source-code
Notehighlight supports syntax highlighting for : C#, SQL, CSS, JS, HTML, XML, JAVA, PHP,Perl, Python, Ruby, C++
They have release a port has been release compatible with OneNote 2013 (Also happens to work with OneNote2016)
Well , sorry for replying late, I know it's very old post. But , it might help to one who is trying to find it out solution for above said question. I found none to work for me even OneNote 2016, but here it is very easy way to do.
Just copy your code and paste it to wordpad.exe it suppose to paste with formatting and colors. Save *.rtf file and open it in Ms Word , from there you can copy/paste any document in word, it worked for me.
The best way of keeping the format of your code completely is constituted from two steps:
I just figured out a workaround to do this without any plugins.
PS: I have tried in macOS it works fine
