Control/Editor /w Syntax Highlighting & Intellisense

I have a program where the user inputs some proprietary code in an
editor. I would like to use a windows form editor control that
automatically does syntax highlighting & intellisense (after I define
the vocabulary).

1) How would I do that myself? Any tips and/or links?
2) Are there any open source projects that offer this functionality?
3) What commercial products do offer this (at a reasonable price)?

Thanks

Look at the SyntaxEditor from http://www.actiprosoftware.com/

It is used in various freeware apps like SnippetCompiler
(http://www.sliver.com/dotnet/SnippetCompiler/)
and I believe it is used in SharpDevelop
(http://www.icsharpcode.com/OpenSource/SD/Default.aspx) and CodeSmith
(http://www.codesmithtools.com).

Greetings, I'm creating a program that I don't intend to profit from so I don't want to know about any pricy controls (such as essential edit $499 ouch).

Ok, I know it's been asked a million times, but I have a more specific question so hopefully this won't be just the same old post. I've tried a few different editors, and I really like UltraEdit, but it's Windows-only and I'm working more on Linux nowadays. Here are my criteria: 1. syntax highlighting (highly customizable) 2. auto/smart indenting 3. ability to run script

Wondering if anyone knew how to have the ability to have syntax highlighting and Intellisense dropdowns for classic ASP 3.0 pages from within Visual Studio 2005. The catch is, we are not allowed to install IIS locally on our development workstations where I am contracting - therefore, asp.dll and related components are not installed to be referenced. Is there any way to install these components successfully or at least register them without...

Years ago I looked for a text editor control that would do automatic keyword highlighting, to no avail. I found sample code to roll my own, but all of that was crap (mostly because of the way the RichTextBox base class was written, and the limitations of GDI+). I ended up coming to conclusion that I'd have to write my own in C++ to make it work right, at which point I gave up. Now it seems there are controls out there that may do the trick...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
