Syntax highlighter or parser component (for VB, C#, SQL, etc)

[Tim Conner]

Hi,

I am writing an application in C# that needs a memo control with the
capability of highlight certain syntax of programming languages, very
similar to what the Vs.Net does, or any language editor does. This should be
the type of control that can accepts different inputs, since I need to
display, VB, C# and SQL code, in nice highlighter colors.
It won't compile or anything, so I don't need grammar checking, just the
lexical tool.


Thanks in advance,



P.S. If this is not the appropiate newsgroup to post this request, can
anybody point me which is the correct newsgroup to post about 3rd party
components/controls ?

Hi,

The SharpDevelop team have an editor. I have used there editor in source
form in my own projects and it works quite well.
http://www.icsharpcode.net. The editor is part of the #develop project.

Hope this helps

Or use Regex and try to add a lexical dictionary for what you need.

Horatiu :

Where do I find such "Regex" ?
A google search returned tons of different things.

Thanks in advance,

The RegEx component in the .NET Framework should do fine. Just check the
documentation.
