Embedding script engine into application

[Andrus]

I'm creating WinForms ERP application.
This application need to run custom scripts in may places like:

retrieving list of invoices
before adding invoice
before saving invoice
after saving invoice
before posting invoice
after posing etc.

etc.

I'm looking for script engine which simplifies this.
Features I need to embed into application are:

1. Syntax coloring script editor
2. Syntax check on script save
3. Executing scripts with error reporting
4. Passsing parameters to/from scripts
5. Allowing scripts to access application objects.
6. Maybe binding scripts to Winforms control events.

Any framework, idea, or sample code how to implement this ?

What's the target audience? Would it be feasible for them to write
plugins to your app in a .NET language instead of using a script
engine? Would be a lot more powerful and easier for you to integrate.
