XText for EClipse and Oslo Intellipad for SQL Server and then WHAT FOR.NET?

XText is a great editor and language for DSL in EClipse. I thought Intellipad was the equivalent in the .NET world, of course, since all I disappoint when Microsoft announces that it will be part of SQL Server.

Now, if I need to create a DSL that works in the .NET environment, with an editor that supports coloring, intelliscence, errors ... (the editor works outside the visual studio - this is a plus, the WPF editor is a plus), which are the tools that I should search?

Microsoft "M" really is a response to the Eclipse Xtext. Just for comparison. Xtext is mature, "M" is CTP. Xtext has twice as many features, but "M" offers some of them that are not supported by Xtext. Especially debugging capabilities and a dynamic parser (without the need for a codegan).

Be sure that you can use DSL from SQL Server Modeling without having to run it in the SQL Server relational kernel.

BTW, Entity Framework developed from one group. Isn't that also available in .NET?
