asp.net announcements: We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of our first
ASP.NET web control, CodeHighlighter, to the developer community
as freeware.

CodeHighlighter is the most powerful source code syntax highlighting
component available for the .NET environment. It makes providing
syntax highlighted code samples on your web sites a trivial task.
The code samples have a professional appearance and are easy to
read. You essentially tell the ASP.NET CodeHighlighter web control
what code to highlight (either by inserting it inline or by
programmatically setting a Text property) and in the rendering phase
of its web page it outputs the code in syntax highlighted format.
Custom language definitions may be developed for the control and
code outlining is even supported.

The CodeHighlighter component is based on the engine of the popular
Actipro SyntaxEditor control, a .NET Windows Forms syntax-
highlighting text editor control that has nearly all the features
and capabilities of the Visual Studio .NET code editor. Many of the
same classes that are used in CodeHighlighter are also used in
SyntaxEditor, therefore allowing language definitions and semantic
parser code to be shared between the two products. For more
information about SyntaxEditor see below or visit the control's
home page.

CodeHighlighter supports the following major features:

* Flexible ASP.NET web control inferface that syntax highlights
source code
* Code can be added within the web control's tag block or set
programmatically
* Web.config file configuration settings
* Language definition caching
* Multiple language support
* Custom NFA regular expression engine
* XML language definitions
* Lexical parsing of text into tokens
* Code outlining via DHTML
* Code Outlining degrades gracefully if the client browser is not
Internet Explorer
* Sample language definitions for C#, VB.NET, SQL, HTML, XML,
CSS, JScript, and VBScript
* Sample web page demonstrating inline use of the web control
* Sample web page demonstrating how to paste code into a TextBox
and highlight it
* Sample web page demonstrating how to upload a code file and
highlight it

CodeHighlighter is a .NET control for ASP.NET, completely
written in C#.

Definition of freeware:
"A form of software distribution where the author retains copyright of the
software, but makes the program available to others at no cost. Freeware is
often distributed on bulletin boards, or through user groups. The program
may not be resold or distributed by others for profit."

We're giving it out requiring NO licensing fees whatsoever for its usage,
which is the definition of freeware as stated above. There are no lies
here.
