Syntax Highlighter for WPF

Question

I'm currently looking for a Syntax highlighter for a WPF application. A textbox will be available for the user to type into which would hopefully recognise code and highlight syntax accordingly.

I would like to support C# initialy and other languages later.

I was looking for the same thing without success. Only solution I found is Actipro's Syntax Highlighter for WinForms that can be hosted in WPF application. AFAIK Actipro is working on WPF version but I don't know if it ready or not

If you do not mind having no documentation whatsoever, AvalonEdit is a good choice. I am currently using for a project, and it is a great tool. I have not encountered a single bug even in complex scenarios.
