        var textEdit1 = new TextEditor();
        textSource = new TextSource();
        textSource.LoadFile("myfile.txt");

        textSource.HighlightMatchingBlocks = true;
        textEdit1.Source = this.textSource;
    }

    private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        MessageBox.Show(textSource.MatchingBlocks.Count.ToString());
    }
}

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

Imports System
Imports System.Windows
Imports Alternet.Editor.Wpf

Partial Public Class MainWindow
    Inherits Window

    Private textSource As TextSource

    Private Sub Window_Loaded(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As RoutedEventArgs)
        Dim textEdit1 = New TextEditor()
        textSource = New TextSource()
        textSource.LoadFile("myfile.txt")

        textSource.HighlightMatchingBlocks = True
        textEdit1.Source = Me.textSource
    End Sub

    Private Sub Button_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As RoutedEventArgs)
        MessageBox.Show(textSource.MatchingBlocks.Count.ToString())
    End Sub
End Class

Remarks

Use MatchingBlocks to determine the position of the matching blocks (such as "Class" with "End Class" in Visual Basic) as the user navigates through the text.

Set HighlightMatchingBlocks property is set to true to enable highlighting of the matching blocks.
