Unfortunately, I do not have access to a Windows machine. Would it be possible to make available an MSE file + sources of some larger C# open source project?
A small problem is that Mono treats Generics in some specific way that I need to check. Currently, I cannot parse a project where generics are used to describe the type at runtime. So, I have created two MSEs from projects that do not use them. One is an application that can be used to calculate C# metrics,
DrivenMetrics, the second is VerveineSharp itself. The purpose is to check the conformance of the MSE file vis-a-vis Moose. In the meantime, I am trying to parse
Gendarme, a rule checking engine for C#. I'll send its Mse as soon as all the bugs related to Generics are gone. The VerveineSharp file can be found here:

Interesting solution. You should also know that it is possible to create a dedicated CSharp extension of FAMIX. Just raise the point and we see what can be done.
Delegates are just callback method pointers so I think the current FAMIX model suffices to represent delegates. I'll see if C# needs some specifics in FAMIX.

What do you mean?
FAMIXRepo says {"String index out of range: -1"} when trying to read CSharpLanguage object defined in C#. That probably coz I am trying to add a C# object in FamixRepo that expects a Java object. In the meantime, Nicholas has created a CSharpSourceLanguage class in verveine.core. I haven't tested that class yet. Normally, it should work.

Definitely. I added a tag for this, and I added your Gmail address to the project members.
