Hi everybody,

i am new here, and i am also a beginner C# programmer (used to code in VB6-VB.NET for 6-8 years and moved on to C# just about a year ago)

first i would like to note that this is NOT a homework assignment


i am building a simple syntax highlighting method for a RichTextBox in a source code editor i am writing using C#+WinForms

i was having some issues with the basic highlighting , but than found an interesting tutorial here on DIC and it helped me to find where i was wrong - now works fine.

however,
i am trying to figure out how to make a single comment ( // ) highlighted right, and can't seem to get this right.


well as much as i understand, about highlighting a comment line it should be:

1. find a match for a '//'
2. change font color to desired color
3. let it stay at the same color for comment until found a '\n' (enter..new line)

or am i missing something?



i can not get this to work in RTB, with simple text its easy to find positions , starts and ends in a text array- but somehow in a rtb i find it harder to get done.


any help would be very much appreciated!

many thanks :-)
