Take a look at the sample project - there's a lot of syntaxes already defined, and you'll be able to work out how to craft your own from there...

Hi Hassan,

That's a rather old build you have, I'd recommend you update to the lastest build. But as Matt said, probably the easiest way to start out creating a new language would be to copy one of our dynamic language XML definitions and change it according to your language specifications.

We're currently prototyping out a next generation framework with the WPF version of SyntaxEditor. In that we're working on a wizard where you enter some general info about your languages (keywords, etc.) and it will auto-generate a language definition to get you started that you can modify. Some initial info on that future feature is here:

It will be available for the WPF version first but we eventually hope to port it to WinForms to help with language creation there as well.

Thanks for your reply but I don't have a sample project. Please mail me a xml file so that I can edit it and load via LoadLanguageFromXML() method.

Regards,
Hassan

Hassan,

You should have a sample project from us unless you chose not to install it when you installed SyntaxEditor on your machine. If you don't have one on there, then get the SyntaxEditor installer, run it again, and make sure you keep the option selected to install the sample project. This way there will be many sample language definitions for you to see.
