RegEx pattern or algorithm to get part of string in C#

Question

I want a easy solution to get part of string in C#.
The string structure is like C++ blocks.

class aaa{ void bbb(){ ccc {...} text1 } text2}

The string I want is to get a specified block of code like following.

string.blocks.second() : which should return :
{ ccc {...} text1 }

Don't parse source code using regular expressions. That's just as bad as parsing HTML with regexes. — ThiefMaster, Mar 15 '13 at 12:30
@ThiefMaster is right - any grammar that includes nested structures, like the {} in C-like languages, is ill-suited to parsing by regular expressions. In many regex dialects, it's impossible; in the .NET dialect it's possible but difficult to do, difficult to read, difficult to debug, and really slow. A classic example of "[now you have two problems](http://regex.info/blog/2006-09-15/247)" — MattW, Mar 15 '13 at 12:37

Since you are talking about source code, you should look at C-like language parsers. They are discussed here: Parser for C#
