Editors

The Visual Studio provides support for creating an editor that can be hosted in the Visual Studio integrated development environment (IDE). Additionally, Visual Studio provides a customizable editor called the core editor. If you use the core editor, you have access to the interfaces that implement a custom language service. Editors can be developed to work with all project systems or to work with only your own custom project system.
