I presume you mean that C# is the implementation language right?. 

As opposed to the source language for your lexer/parser or indeed the 
target language you will be generating from your project.

I can't remember if it always adds the prefix for you. It can in some 
situation but in general you should do that yourself.

[Actually, from the next upgrade that - adding the prefix - wouldn't 
be _neccesary_ anymore.]

Please post it to the list and I will have a look. Please include as 
much detail as you have.

Incidentally, I can only help with the C# codegen from www.antlr.org 
OK?. Pls include the timestamp of the .zip file or when roughly you 
downloaded the C# code generator you are using?. 

Cheers!,
