Hi

I have a windows form application in which I fetch some
some from database and display it in an XML format.
I display data in a rich text box. It displays data
correctly. I want the data to be formatted like a tree
view with colours i.e how XML appears in IE.
What do I need to do to achieve this.
I use the following code to display data in the richtext
box.

XmlDocument empDoc = new XmlDocument();
empDoc.PreserveWhitespace = true;
empDoc.Load(empReader);
String str = empDoc.OuterXml;
return str;

Thanks in advance
Daisy

Hi,
for finding keywords etc. you can use regex I attached some code for
colorizing lines of course it works with words too:

Regex line = new Regex("(-------------------------------------)");

MatchCollection mcl;

mcl = line.Matches(chatTextBox.Text);

for (int i = 0; i <= mcl.Count; i++)

{

chatTextBox.SelectionColor = System.Drawing.Color.Blue;

chatTextBox.Select (mcl[i].Index,37);

}

Regex userregex = new Regex((this._name.ToString()));

MatchCollection mcu;

mcu = userregex.Matches(chatTextBox.Text);

for (int i = 0; i <= mcu.Count; i++)

{

chatTextBox.SelectionColor = System.Drawing.Color.Blue;

chatTextBox.Select (mcu[i].Index,this.Name.Length);

}
