Context hightlight editor for VB.NET WinForms

[MrBean]

I'm developing an application where I need a context highlight edit control (single line and multi-line). I need to be able to use my own tags (words/ID to be highlighted) and colors... and optionally tooltips for the highlighted words. The control need to be fast and able to handle hundrets of tags/highlights. Free would be best but conmmercial controls can also be used - but please no bloaded "complete editor" packages - my requirements are pretty simple and do not want a bloated control if I can avoid it :) Any suggestions? /B

Have you looked at the Editor from the SharpDevelop IDE here[^]? Or Scintilla here[^]?

Check out ScintillaNet. It's a DotNet wrapper for the Scintilla control. Free control and you can easily customize the syntax highlighting via simple XML. The project is hosted at CodePlex.[^] Supports line numbers, folding, etc. Built-in support for most popular languages.

Try ICSharpCode TextEditor (the one used by SharpDevelop). I use it and it is quite good.
