Welcome aboard, Marco I think that the people that was helping me implement Microsoft.VisualBasic is gone, could you tackle that or prefer to work directly in the compiler? In the compiler, I was delayed by my perfeccionism in making Mono.GetOptions the new option supplier for mbas' driver. It's usable now (just response file support is really missing on Mono.GetOptions). My strategy is to follow mcs lead on generating the AST. So I look into mcs jay file and adapt it to mbas syntax. Do you know yacc/jay? Down the pipe we will need to parametize the symbol resolver to accomodate VB.NET case-insensitive syntax. And plug a different overload resolver (the overload criteria is different between the languages). Late binding also needs work but most of it are calls to functions like: Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices.LateBinding::LateCall So we get back to that supporting DLL... Thanks in advance for any help Rafael Teixeira Brazilian Polymath _________________________________________________________________ Join the world�s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
