I'm doing a parser for Visual Basic with Java. The other day, looking
for information about it in Internet, I read that Visual Basic is not
a LR(1) language. I'm using Visual Parser, which implements a LR(1)
grammatic, and before implement all the tokens of VB i'm interested in
knowing if it's true that it isn't a LR(1) language (because if it is
true, i'll be forced to change my development software).


I have another problem, I'm trying to get the class declaration syntax
used by Visual Basic, but I can't. Can anyone tell me if there is a
location where I can find it????.


Thank you.
