Can anyone recommend a good .NET based lexical analyser, preferably written in C#?

A:
Download the Visual Studio SDK; it includes a managed parser/lexer generator.
(Edit: It was written on my university campus, apparantly :D)

They use gplex and gppg, not sure if they changed anything to it though.

AFAIK, they just changed the name.

ANTLR looks good in so far as it has lots of features, but the documentation is very poor.

There's good documentation at http://www.pragprog.com/titles/tpantlr/the-definitive-antlr-reference ($24 PDF)

$24 is a lot of money for a PDF that I cannot preview before buying. Are you connected with the author, or recommending it because you have bought it and found it useful?

Neither, but I do plan on buying the book. There's a free chapter excerpt at http://media.pragprog.com/titles/tpantlr/errors.pdf .

Thanks for the link marxidad. It looks good from what that chapter shows. Guess I'll take the plunge...
