Required background

The following topics are prerequisites to understanding this topic:

Topic Purpose

In this topic, you will find information to help you better understand the xamSyntaxEditor’s functions.

This topic covers the text editing capabilities of the xamSyntaxEditor control from both the developer and user’s perspective.

In this topic

This topic contains the following sections:

Supported Languages

Supported languages summary chart

The xamSyntaxEditor supports several predefined syntax highlighting languages. Additional information on using supported languages follows.

Note
Note

Certain languages (for example, Visual Basic) modify the case of keywords within a document. To ensure that these modifications are intentionally made to documents containing text targeting a different language, set the document’s language prior to loading the document content.
Language Colorization Details

No special colorization used.

Uses the C# language colorization scheme, which is similar to MS Visual Studio.

Uses the Visual Basic language colorization scheme, which is similar to MS Visual Studio.

Uses the Transact-SQL (T-SQL) language colorization scheme, which is similar to MS Visual Studio.
Note
Note

The internal grammatical structure of these languages, including the structure of the syntax tree created for documents parsed with them, is subject to change. With this in mind, if you are writing code to inspect or traverse a syntax tree you should use the nested SymbolNames class constants in each language definition to identify the name of each node’s symbol (rather than the symbol name as a string literal), so that future changes to these symbol names will be highlighted via compilation errors. In addition, it is good practice to write logic to test assumptions and debug assert about the number and type of child nodes on a particular node so changes to a node’s child structure in the future will be detected and handled gracefully.
