[antlr-interest] C# target

Sun Apr 8 11:13:04 PDT 2012

This situation is mostly caused by the fact that I never used ANTLRWorks or the Java version of the Tool*. I always built my projects within Visual Studio, and use the following for editing grammars:

http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/25b991db-befd-441b-b23b-bb5f8d07ee9f

* This applies specifically to ANTLRWorks 1.x and the Tool from ANTLR 3. I'm the primary developer on ANTLRWorks 2 (rewrite from scratch), so obviously I'll be making sure it supports the C# target for ANTLR 4 whenever that's released.

Hello,

Thanks I will try but wouldn't be better to fix archive and/or antlrworks ?
I mean when you use antlr for the first time it's really annoying to take one piece of code here another there Next time you make a release I could help with the c# target.
