Hi

I have been banging my head with Sam Harwell's Antlr C# port since morning.

SO far I have managed to integrate grammar compilation with Visual Studio
2010 following the instructions on this page:
http://www.antlr.org/wiki/display/ANTLR3/Antlr3CSharpReleases

However I am stuck with something for the moment. A simple test driver
program I wrote to test the generated lexer/parser doesn't report any kind
of error when I pass invalid input. That is, the generated parser code is
eating the exception and the output window only shows that a few first
chance exceptions were generated. Now I added these exceptions to
Debug->Exceptions list in VS 2010 (under CLR) and that way I was able to
make the debugger break into the offending code but I can't believe this is
the way to do it? Shouldn't I be seeing something on the console or at least
as an exception I must be able to catch and display exactly what was wrong
with my input?
