A textbox/richtextbox that has syntax highlighting? [C#] [closed]

Answer 1

you can try this http://www.codeproject.com/KB/edit/SyntaxHighlighting.aspx

Answer 2

Add ICSharpCode.TextEditor assembly reference to a project, choose assembly and controls for Visual Studio Toolbox. After that, you can put control to the Form. Surprisingly, you will not see Property to choose syntax highlight schema. Instead of this, you have to use method SetHighlighting. String parameter sets highlighting schema from available schemas list. These schemas are embedded into the control.

How to use, change schemas and download sample, look following article

Answer 3

Check out the AvalonEdit control. There is a good article on CodeProject explaining how to use it.

Answer 4

If you're willing to pay for a control, I highly recommend this one: QWhale Syntax Edit. It's got a ton of features, comes with source code, and supports a lot of languages. I use it myself for C#, VB.NET, SQL (MS & Oracle), and it's got everything that VS provides.

Answer 5

Scintilla.NET is probably what you're looking for

Answer 6

Not sure if there is any out of the box non-thirdparty solution to this.

But, have you looked at Actipro SyntaxEditor component. LinqPad, the ubercool linq tool uses it for syntax highlighting and intellisense.
