SharpDevelop is an open source application that has an editor with color coding. You can check out how they implemented the color coding.

Is there a stand-alone portion of the code editor perhaps as a control ?

I don't think you can just take their code editor as a control and put it in your project without touching the code. But this link might be a better idea for what you want:http://laputa.sharpdevelop.net/AnnouncingSharpDevelopForApplicationsSDA.aspx

SharpDevelop is LGPL-licensed and has a WinForms control used in SharpDevelop 3.x and a new WPF-based editor called AvalonEdit for SharpDevelop 4 - http://wiki.sharpdevelop.net/AvalonEdit.ashx.

I believe that Scintilla is an open source syntax-highlighting editor component. There is an open source .Net wrapper utility on CodePlex.

This looks good, will try it out !
Kumar  2009-07-13 14:19:03
Nice try, but as soon as an Win32Exception occured when disposing the control it wasn't an option anymore. (No: This wasn't the "I forgot to put SciLexer.dll into my PATH" exception!)
