AvalonEdit Change Syntax Highlighting in Code

Question

I want to change the Syntax Highlighting of AvalonEdit in my Code.

XAML:

 <avalonEdit:TextEditor Name="textEditor" SyntaxHighlighting="{Binding syntaxHighlighting}" />

C#:

public string syntaxHighlighting { get; set; }

public MainWindow()
{
     InitializeComponent();
     syntaxHighlighting = "C#";
     DataContext = this;
}

But the Syntax Highlighting is not changed. What am I doing wrong? Is there a better solution for my problem?

Answer 1

ICSharpCode.AvalonEdit.Highlighting.HighlightingManager.Instance.GetDefinition("C#");
