Hi Rick,
EdSharp is written in C#. But you can use any language (Jamal, please correct 
if necessary) that .Net supports. For example, I have the command line visual 
basic compiler and the command line JScript compiler on this computer. I could 
write something that processes text in my document or a converter that compiles 
to an executable and make EdSharp use it. 

Thanks.

Hi: Is that .net code? If so is it vb.net or csharp or what? Someone 
mentioned .net before but I am not sure about it. I am just interested a 
little to see how it was developed.
