That doesn't work quite that. Compilers use a driver program (in your 
case the rich box program) which takes the input and feeds it into a 
lexer, which in turn feeds the parser, which in turn possibly feeds the 
tree parser. The lexer, parser and possibly tree parser are generated 
from ANTLR grammars. There are a few assemblies included in the ANTLR 
distribution, under the runtime path for CSharp. Reference them as 
necessary.
