How can i create a code editor like visual studio code editor in vb.net?

Question

It's now 3 years I followed every instructions that you can create or use a (code editor) inside your application. But all of them were unsuccessful. Here when i typed my question title, it shows to me some related questions, they are just not useful.

At all, I want to ask, how can i create a code editor like visual studio code editor for myself. I used both Scintilla (win32 + gdk) and Scintilla (net) but they weren't usable. (some errors that I never saw them). Can anybody help me !?

there is something in my mind that I don't know how to do it. I'm not new user to programming, before this I wrote a lot of projects for my self. 6 years programming !.

I tried to create syntax editor for times. In some cases i was successful but always something will make an obstacle at my way. for instance i wrote the syntax highlighting and now i want to write code blocking (collapse and expanding of codes), but i don't know even how to start. or writing for make current line background a filled yellow rectangle (i write it last night but another obstacle came to me !).

Just this. Excuse for writing a lot !.

Oh one main question !. How can i create code outlining ?

SharpDevelop has a text editing component: http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/Download/

Though it is written in C#, not VB.net. You can embed it in a VB.net app, though, same as any other control.
