Answer 1

For syntax highlighting check :

Also you can check there must be some 3rd party controls.

Answer 2

I suggest http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/161871/Fast-Colored-TextBox-for-syntax-highlighting which has a lot of features.

Also, encapsulating http://ace.c9.io/#nav=about would be an option depending on your technology stack
