I'm searching for a free text/code editor WinForms control just like ScintillaNET.

I cannot use ScintillaNET, because it doesn't support Mono.

Ideally it should be a pure managed control.

http://www.microsoft.com/exPress/ (Windows only obiously and I am not sure it handles Mono)

A: 

Have you looked at Sharp Develop?

I think its open source so you can get the text editor they created...

[EDIT] Actually, see this post: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/619807/free-syntax-highlighting-net-editor

And, as a further help - SharpDevelop 4.0 uses AvalonEdit as the Syntax highlighting editor:

OK - one more edit, then I'm done - how to use AvalonEdit:

AvalonEdit is WPF. Mono doesn't support WPF.

Doesn't sharpdevelop have a control? Or monodevelop? Can you get their source and see if you can use a control from there? Or would this work? Fireedit from Code project. Or this?
