Meta-S comes with a C# grammar and produces syntax trees as a standard
side-effect of a parse.


The C# grammar used was developed from the Microsoft documentation of
C#, and can be viewed from the link at the bottom of this document:

If you just need to view C# syntax trees and don't need the bells and
whistles of the full system ... I am working on a prototype of "Meta-S
Lite" which just loads .ABN (A-BNF) grammars and applies them to test
input, producing parse trees as a result. Just send me an email
qjackson@shaw.ca and I can forward a copy of this with the .ABN
version of the C# grammar with the Meta-S Lite prototype. (Win32
systems.) It will let you navigate the tree and correlate the parse
tree nodes to the sections of the test input that generated those
nodes.


Cheers.
