When i create a node and change the Textrange the length value is one short. Sample for a Node with offsets 1 till 5 ( 5 long):

    public partial class TestNode : ActiproSoftware.SyntaxEditor.AstNodeBase    {

        public TestNode(ActiproSoftware.SyntaxEditor.TextRange range) : base(range) { }
        public TestNode() : base() { }

        public static void DoTest1() {
            TestNode node = new TestNode();
            node.TextRange = new ActiproSoftware.SyntaxEditor.TextRange(1, 5);
            Debug.Write(node.Length);
                        
        }
        public static void DoTest2() {
            TestNode node = new TestNode(new ActiproSoftware.SyntaxEditor.TextRange(1, 5));
            Debug.Write(node.Length);
        }

        public override int ContextID {
            get {
                throw new NotImplementedException();
            }
            set {
                throw new NotImplementedException();
            }
        }
    }
Both DoTestx() report value 4.

That is correct and by design. There are two ways to do offsets:

1) Offset/length combination. So in your case, you'd want offset = 1, length = 5.
2) TextRange. Text ranges "encompass" the given offsets. So to wrap 5 characters in your case, you'd want to do a TextRange of {1,6}, which means from the start of the character at offset 1 through the START of the character at offset 6 (but not including the character at offset 6).
