Although I've never used it before, ANTLR has C# runtime.

If you use F#, check out FParsec.

Just found out about Irony. Used for writing DSL.
Thought I would add it to the list.

System.Text.RegularExpressions?

That's a pretty brave answer. There's some real Zealots who will only condone real parsers, and not using things like Regex for parsing code. – Kibbee Dec 14 '08 at 02:03
I'll take that as a valid answer since I didn't define my needs and there are cases where regular expressions are sufficient to define simple DSL. – Renaud Bompuis Dec 14 '08 at 02:17

Give a look to Coco/R for C#.
