User Control for source editing

Question

Hi, Similar to other user controls in C# to add to a winform (such as commonly found for xml formatting) does someone know of one for source editing? Hopefully, this includes the source for the control and does a pretty nice job of making source code readable in a visual studio kind of way.

thanks

Or maybe Microsoft provides one, but I haven't found any yet.

Answer 1

You can customize a RichTextBox control to provide syntax highlighting. As for source code, you'll probably want to look at the SharpDevelop codebase.
