Syntax highlighting component for .NET

Question

I'm looking for a .NET component that free and include the following features:

• Real-time syntax highlighting (HTML, VBScript,..)
• Intellisense (I can build my own intellisense library)
• Line number

I found ScintillaNET from

http://scintillanet.codeplex.com/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=15804

but I wonder if there is a better component? Please help me, thanks!

Answer 1

Give a look to the dotNetFireball project, it looks very interesting, and it's open source.

Answer 2

You could also use ICSharpCode.TextEditor, which is the editing control used in SharpDevelop. I don't think it's available as a separate download, but you can get it with SharpDevelop.

Answer 3

You might consider trying out the Visual Studio Shell or Eclipse both offer platforms to build very powerful IDE's.
