Abstract
In this paper we describe the development of a parser for the C# programming language. We outline the development process used,
detail its application to the development of a C# parser and present a number of metrics that describe the parser’s evolution. This
paper presents and reinforces an argument for the application of software engineering techniques in the area of parser design. The
development of a parser for the C# programming language is in itself important to software engineering, since parsers form the basis
for tools such as metrics generators, refactoring tools, pretty-printers and reverse engineering tools.
