SyntaxEditor for WinForms

Advanced Code Editing in Your Apps

SyntaxEditor is a powerful text editing control that is packed with features for efficient code editing, including syntax highlighting, code outlining, parsing, line numbers, block selection, IntelliPrompt UI, split views, single-line mode, custom languages, and much more. It has many of the same code editing features found in the Visual Studio code editor.

SyntaxEditor is designed for use in IDE (integrated development environment) applications, however there are many other applications out there than can take advantage of such a control. Over 20 sample languages are included to get you started (such as C#, HTML, Javascript, and more), and optional premium add-ons with advanced functionality for editing C#, VB, and XML are available as well.
