When you say "better", do you mean "easier to use" or "more powerful"?


Gold is also an LALR tool (like yacc and bison) and it can make parsers
in C#. This is probably easier to use that yacc and bison.


Coco/R is a LL(1) tool that can generate C# recursive descent parsers,
Checkout the book by Pat Terry: Compiling with C# and Java. I find this
to be an easier option than the others; mostly due to Pat's excellent
book.


ANTLR is an LL(k) tool that can generate recursive descent parsers in
C#. This is very powerful but somewhat hard to use.
