Greetings

I am a newbie to C# and .NET, but I am a long term C/C++ coder by trade

I started working on a side project that is written in C# using .NET. I do not use Visual NET... I use SlickEdit v7.01. I would like to add tagging information for common namespaces, like System, etc.. but the only place I can locate this information is on the MSDN website

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/netstart/html/cpframeworkref_start.as

Is there any way I can either get my hands on a VS builtins tag file or at least a set of includes/files that have this information so I can create the tagfiles myself

Thanks in advance

By tagging do you mean keywords (for syntax highlighting) or documentation
or something that gives you intellisense? I'm not familiar with SlickEdit.

The first one is easy since keywords are normally language keywords as well.
The second can be obtained from the XML doc files under
%%WINDIR%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\%VERSION%\.

The last one is doable since .NET assemblies can be queried for types and
metadata. There are lots of samples out there on how to examine assemblies.
Maybe you could adapt one to generate files that match for SlickEdit format.
