CDS.CSharpScript2.ScintillaEditor

Scintilla5-based WinForms editor control for C# script editing, powered by Roslyn.

Description

CDS.CSharpScript2.ScintillaEditor provides a drop-in WinForms UserControl that gives your application a professional C# script editor backed by the Scintilla5 native editing component and full Roslyn IntelliSense.

Features

  • Syntax highlighting — real Roslyn token classification (keywords, types, literals, comments, …).
  • Code completion — member lists, type suggestions, and smart single-letter prioritisation.
  • Signature help (call tips) — parameter info as you type method calls.
  • Hover tooltips — type and XML-doc info on mouse hover.
  • Error indicators — squiggles and a live diagnostic list tied to the Roslyn compiler.
  • Find/Replace — built-in find and replace dialog.
  • Output panel — companion RTFOutputPanel for displaying script results.

Quick Start

Add ScintillaScriptEditor to a form and wire up a ScriptEnvironment:

using CDS.CSharpScript2;
using CDS.CSharpScript2.ScintillaEditor;

var editor = new ScintillaScriptEditor();
editor.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
Controls.Add(editor);

// Setting Environment starts live analysis immediately
editor.API.Environment = ScriptEnvironment.Default;

Compile and run the script the user has typed:

var executable = await editor.API.CompileAsync();

if (!executable.HasErrors)
    await executable.RunAsync();

All scripting properties and methods are accessed through editor.API to keep them separate from the standard WinForms Control surface.

API Surface (editor.API)

Member Description
Environment Get/set the ScriptEnvironment (references, namespaces, globals type). Setting it restarts live analysis.
Script Get/set the script text shown in the editor.
HasErrors true when the most recent live-analysis pass found at least one error.
CurrentDiagnostics Diagnostics from the most recent analysis pass.
CompileAsync() Full Roslyn compilation; returns an ExecutableScript.
CurrentCompiledScript The result of the last CompileAsync() call, or null if the script has changed since.
HighlightText(start, length) Highlights a range in the editor.
ClearHighlightText() Removes the active highlight.
ScriptChanged Event raised when the user modifies the script text.
DiagnosticsUpdated Event raised when the live-analysis diagnostic set changes.

See the CDS.CSharpScript2.WinForms.Sample project for a full working example.
