I’m planning to write a C# 3.0 compiler in C#. Where can I get the grammar for parser generation?
Preferably one that works with ANTLR v3 without modification.

I ran into ANTLR C# Grammar on CodePlex. It’s a relatively new project and uses ANTLR 3.2. It says it supports C# 4.0 and is licensed under the Eclipse Public License (EPL).
I played with it a little. It has a bunch of test files containing expressions. It supports lambdas, unsafe context, … as you’d naturally expect. It parses a C# file and hands you an abstract syntax tree. You can do whatever you want with it.
