Solution 1

Simplest would be notepad. However, I am not sure why you do not want to make use of Visual Studio. If you are looking for a free/cheap edition, I will recommend community edition. Here[^] is the link to begin.

I've tried the freeware editor NotePad++ [^] (open-source, GPL License, uses the Scintilla edit engine), and I've tried the commercial program SublimeText [^] (US $70 license per user, I sampled the trial version only, but assume it has all the features of the for-sale version).

I settled on purchasing UltraEdit [^] (US $80) for many reasons: it's a one-font-only editor with an astounding range of features ... useful for so many purposes; it's one of the few programs that is always running on my dev machine.

Customizable color-highlighting for different languages available, ranging from C# to Ruby, Perl, Python, XML, etc. Every element of the UI can be customized to your taste, or you can switch between "modes of use" that are pre-defined by UltraEdit like "Power User," "Technical Writer," "SysAdmin," etc.

Also has macro recording, and scripting available.

My recommendation is that you try all three of the programs I mentioned, and see which one best fits your needs, and your budget.
