[Mono-dev] Using Mono.CSharp in a syntax highlighting engine
A couple weeks ago, I started playing around with Mono.CSharp to see if I could get enough information from it to hook it up to a syntax highlighter. In order to do so, I would need to be able to get a mapping of ranges of characters to lexical values (keyword, type name, etc.). After some poking around, I was finally able to get a very limited amount of information (mostly with respect to the namespaces found in a file), but not nearly enough to do what I want. Was this an anticipated use of Mono.CSharp? Does anyone have any pointers for how to use it in this manner?

Hello, Was this an anticipated use of Mono.CSharp? Does anyone have any pointers for how to use it in this manner? To generate code dynamically from C# text.The use as a syntax highlighter is probably not going to be very good. You found a first few issues with it, but you will run into more. The internal tree created during parsing does not really correspond with a textual interpretation of the source, but a transformation that is useful by the compiler. So you would have to undo that in several places, or fork the code for your particular needs.

Why don't you look inside/reuse MonoDevelop's C# Syntax-Highlighter? Rafael Monoman Teixeira --- We live in a world operated by science and technology. We have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster. We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces. -Carl Sagan On Wed, Jan 26, 2011 at 3:13 PM, David Mitchell dmitch...@logos.com wrote: A couple weeks ago, I started playing around with Mono.CSharp to see if I could get enough information from it to hook it up to a syntax highlighter.
