using Alternet.Editor;
using Alternet.Editor.TextSource;

public partial class Form1 : Form
{

    private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

        var syntaxEdit = new SyntaxEdit(this.components);
        textSource = new TextSource(this.components);
        textSource.LoadFile("myfile.txt");
        syntaxEdit.Source = this.textSource;
        textSource.BracesOptions = BracesOptions.HighlightBounds | BracesOptions.Highlight;
    }
}

Here is how to use a BracesOptions in the Visual Basic code:

Imports Alternet.Editor
Imports Alternet.Editor.TextSource

Partial Public Class Form1
    Inherits Form

    Private textSource As TextSource

    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
        Dim syntaxEdit = New SyntaxEdit(Me.components)
        textSource = New TextSource(Me.components)
        textSource.LoadFile("myfile.txt")
        syntaxEdit.Source = Me.textSource
        textSource.BracesOptions = BracesOptions.HighlightBounds Or BracesOptions.Highlight
    End Sub
End Class

Remarks

Use BracesOptions to specify matching brace highlighting behavior for SyntaxEdit control, such as highlighting matching braces if the caret is anywhere between them or whether to remove highlighting after a short delay.
