I'm in the process of writing an editor/debugger. I need to be able to
able to get/set line numbers of the displayed text (i.e. source) and to
be able to get/set forecolor and backcolor of a specified line(s).

Is there a control I can use for this (i.e. textbox or label?) or do I
have to "roll my own". Any ideas/sugestions welcome.

You could look at the richtextbox, although showing line numbers will
be a bit problematic. The colors are easy to do.

You could also look at SyntaxEditor from actipro software
(www.actiprosoftware.com). I use that too in my template studio IDE,
it's ideal for creating an editor, as everything is already build in :)
