dotless API call

Question

Is there a way to call dotless API programmatically and get final CSS?

Something like this:

string lessCSS = File.ReadAllText(lessCSSfile);
string finalCSS = dotless.Core.Less.Parse(lessCSS);

Sounds like this is a duplicate of http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4798154/how-can-i-output-errors-when-using-less-programmatically — Sha Le, Mar 28 '11 at 18:30
The code you posted works fine so there is actually no point to this question.. — Tigraine, Apr 05 '11 at 11:48
@Tigraine, as mentioned below...the code silently throws an exception. — Sha Le, Apr 08 '11 at 17:42

My CSS had a hack for IE5 and that triggered a parser exception, that's why it was not working.

Here is my test code:

try
{
   Ruleset ruleset = new dotless.Core.Parser.Parser().Parse(source, fileName);
   rv = ruleset.ToCSS();
}
catch (ParserException pe)
{
   Response.Write(pe.Message);
}
