I'm curious to know how you achieved the Highlighted Syntax::Formatted Results tab?  Is this possible with the out of the box Telerik asp.net web controls?

It apears the 'Open Source' tag is somewhat misleading as the source for the asp.net version is not available.

Hello Padgett,

Consider using the FormatCodeBlock dialog of our editor control to apply different formats to the code snippets entered by the user. Review the online demo linked below for more info:

Hi Stephen,

This isn't quite what I'm looking for.  I'd like the rendered result, not a dialog.  I'd like to be able to do something like this:

TelericHtmlFormatter.Text = GetLargeBlockOfText;
TelericHtmlFormatter.FormatType = FormatType.Css;
TelericHtmlFormatter.Render();

Where I supply the text block, the systax format type and have it render the block of code whereever the <Teleric:HtmlFormatter /> tag is in my asp.net page.

Cheers,
Padgett

Padgett-

The syntax highlighting being done in the Converter is using an engine very similar to what's in RadEditor. That said, I'm not sure how "open" it is; I'll have to follow-up and see if I can make the code available to you. I agree that the Open Source title is misleading- it really should be more like "Community Projects."

As for a Telerik control that directly provides this functionality, I think the RadEditor is the closet that exists. I'll talk to the Editor team to see if they can expose any more functionality for the Code Formatter via the API, as that is a good suggestion.

You might check out the free syntax highlighting control from Actipro, too, to see if that solves your problem:

Hope that helps.

Cheers Todd, I'll keep an eye on the next few releases of the rad editor.  In the mean time the freebie control you linked to looks like it will do the job.
