+5  Q: 

Are there any good parsing libraries for .Net?

I'm looking for something simple to use where the grammar is easy to define.

+1  A: 

System.Text.RegularExpressions?

That's a pretty brave answer. There's some real Zealots who will only condone real parsers, and not using things like Regex for parsing code.

I'll take that as a valid answer since I didn't define my needs and there are cases where regular expressions are sufficient to define simple DSL.

Although I've never used it before, ANTLR has C# runtime.

If you use F#, check out FParsec.

Give a look to Coco/R for C#.

Just found out about Irony. Used for writing DSL.
Thought I would add it to the list.
