Parser Generator for C#?

[jehugaleahsa]

Hello:

I have been looking for a tool similar to Lex and Yacc for C#. I would
like to be able to generate grammars so I can write a simple
interpreter for another piece of code. However, I have to make many
future grammars and was hoping to find a tool that would allow me to
generate as many as I would like.

I was hoping someone had made a port for C#. I haven't had any luck
looking for one, so any direction would be appreciated.

Thanks a lot,
Travis

There are plenty.

Google places the following high for me:

Just to clarify, I don't want to be able to parse C# files, I want to
generate parsers using C#.

Thanks for everyone's input.

In addition to the others mentioned, you could look athttp://www.frontiernet.net/~fredm/parser/LinguistWebPage.htm

It does not generate C# programs, but is a dll called by your C# program
from which you can interact with the parse trees (generated by the parser
from a grammar file and the input text).  The system is written in C# and is
open source so you can modify it as you see fit.

This is what I'm looking for. Thanks!

You can use ANTLR, which is a mature parser generator framework, but a
bit weird perhaps.
You can also use Goldparser. Both are free.

Has anyone examples on using StringTemplates to generate ILASM
code or to use Reflection.Emit with Antlr?

i want to use some built in lexical analyzer / parser in c#.

i cant find any sample or tutorial for sepcifying how to use it in my code.

if any one has tried any analyzer then please let me know.
