parsing - Developing a simple parser

Question

My day job includes working to develop a Pascal-like compiler. I've been working all along on optimizations and code generation.

I would also like to start learning to build a simple parser for the same language. I'm however, not really sure how to go about this. Flex and Bison seem to be the choice. But, isn't it possible to write a parser using C++ or C#? I'm a bit creepy with C.

Yacc++ supports C#, but it's a licensed one. I'm looking for all the help that I can find in this regard. Suggestions would be highly appreciated.

I believe you can use ANTLR with C#. I've never tried it myself (yet), however there is a tutorial here that might point you in the right direction.
