ICSharpCode.TextEditor

The SharpDevelop texteditor was designed as a text editor for Integrated Development Environments (IDEs). For this reason it provides some nice features, every IDE editor should have.

• Syntax highlighting
• Code folding
• Code completion support

On the following pages you might find valueable information about how to setup a syntax highlighting, code folding, etc. If there is anything you can not find here. Please ask in the forums, but be sure to check the Texteditor FAQs first!
