Syntax Highlighting Control

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).

I am looking for a syntax highlighting .NET winform component. Hopefully it
will have line numbering and the ability to specify my own numbering or
place whatever text I want in where the line number otherwise would be or in
some sort of margin next to the numbers but not editable by the user. Place
breakpoint, per se, or the ability for me to do so easily. Possibly but not
required, have the ability for me to ease the intellisense implementation.

I've seen the control for SharpDevelop but I don't think it allows me to
enter in whatever I want in the margine next to or in stead of the numbers
or breakpoints. I've seen countless of these in Delphi but I can't use them
in C#.

Again, I am not going to profit from the use of this therefore I don't want
to spend *much* money (for example, Syncfusion products are simply too
expensive for me considering I won't get the money back) so I need them to
be affordable or better yet, free. No GPL. That's not "free", either,
because I can't do what I want with it (such as reserve the right to release
certain parts of the code or none at all).


Thanks,
Shawn
 
Well there is the CodeMax one which has a margin (with or without
linenumbering). It's in C/C++ though but IIRC there are some samples on how
to use it in VB.Net. The free open-source version can be found in the yahoo
group codemax.
