Creating Text/Code Editor from Scratch [closed]

Question

I need some help on looking for references in building a complex text/code editor, not just a simple one that you can only write and read plain text. What I'm actually aiming for is a text editor with Line Numbers display on the side and code highlightinh and lexing. Simply put, like a notepad++ or a dreamweaver style of text/code editor. And I want to build it on C#.

I won't exactly ask for codes, but some samples would really be a great help. Something I can base my work on, concepts, etc. I just really need something to start to. Any help is appreciated. Thank you so much.
