Is there any Visual Studio like code editor control?

Question

I want to write an IDE in C# for my custom scripting language. Is there any code editor control with the IntelliSense popup, colors, etc for WPF/WinForms? Thanks.

Answer 1

Apart from ICSharpCode.TextEditor (used in SharpDevelop versions up to 3.1); there is also AvalonEdit , which is the WPF-based text editor in the upcoming SharpDevelop 4.0.

I've just published an article on CodeProject about AvalonEdit: Using AvalonEdit (WPF Text Editor)

Answer 2

The SharpDevelop text editor control is quite modular. IIRC it only needs one assembly and can be dropped into any WinForms container.

Answer 3

• Actipro Syntax Editor Control - http://www.actiprosoftware.com/Products/DotNet/WindowsForms/SyntaxEditor/Default.aspx (used in LINQPad )
• or have a look at Sharp Develop which is a free & open source IDE built in C# http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/
