    Question Line numbers for a textbox

    I am looking into making a text editor. I would like to include a line number feature. I understand that control creation is a feature of Visual Studio Professional. Are there any possibilities on doing this with Visual Basic 2008 Express. Do I even need to create my own control? Is there something else I can do?

    SharpDevelop is an open source alternative IDE to Visual Studio. It's code editor would support line numbers and you should be able to use it in your own applications.

    I'd be interested in learning how to use system.drawings to make a line control on the left like in Notepad++ as well. I know how to get the line number and columns. I coded all that out myself
