I am looking for a Silverlight text editor control that provides XML syntax highlighting. I found a few answers in Winforms or WPF, like here on Stackoverflow, but I didn't manage to convert them to Silverlight. The fact that Silverlight is missing System.Drawing is probably a big problem.
The only text editor I found for Silverlight is RichTextEdit on Codeplex, but I don't think it is a suitable base for real-time syntax highlighting.
Has anyone heard of such a control, or can provide hints on how to build one? Many thanks,
Romain
I finally found that control I was looking for! SL2TextBoxWsSynParser
EDIT: This control does not seem to be updated anymore, but a new syntax-highlighting control has surfaced:
It is available here, and used on the CoderProof website.
Actipro Software has a syntax highlighter component for Winforms, WPF, and Silverlight:

I thought this was an interesting question, but you've had no answer.
I don't know of an existing control.
I've built a control to edit XHTML, but it too uses System.Drawing rather than WPF (and therefore isn't for Silverlight).
WPF is probably at least as capable as System.Drawing, but I don't know it.
Hints on how I built it:
If you really want hints on how to build one, ask something more specific.
