Hi Usman,
Thanks for the reply! In the mean time I have been looking at using Roslyn: the .NET reflection API's, to make a XML dump of the structure of the code. I am almost there so I will keep going this route.
Now I can write a basic class structure with simple call information, and it's only 160 LOC of C# code. But the thing is that parsing is not enough, I also want the semantic analysis that gives type information (argument types, receiver type) and I don’t want to write that myself. Roslyn is supposed to give me that as well so I am investigating that now.

Hi John,
Sorry for the late reply.
I worked on a C# (MSIL) importer a few years back while I was working in Inria.
This parser was based on Mono project and a library Mono.Cecil that provides API to access MSIL.
The importer I wrote was able to extract the basic information required to create FAMIX model (Classes, Namespaces, methods, attributes, invocations, accesses, params). I think it might also have started to extract Generics but that part might not be complete. I didn't rewrite FAME/FAMIX for C# but used a library to transform FAME/FAMIX in Java to C#. That meant that I could reuse the meta-model + MSE import/export from existing code.
But I haven't been able to work on it since 6 years now. But if you are interested, you may have a look here at the code here: https://scm.gforge.inria.fr/anonscm/svn/verveinesharp/
One day when I get some time I would like to replace Mono.Cecil with Microsoft's parser that has been opensourced since.
HTH,
regards. Usman

And now it looks like I will need to analyze a part of our own code, written in C#. Is there a parser for C# in Moose and if so, how extensive/solid is it?
