unfortuenately reflection is not an option because I can not gurantee that
the source code is compileable. I want i.e. takr file xy.cs and get the
structure of it independently if the file depends on some other Classes or
not.
I mean you can parse i.e
MyType func() {}
without knowing what MyType exactly is (which I need to create an assembly).

GPL is not a problem at all but I simply dont get it work at the moment.

@Monodevelop Parser
You are taling about the 
Core\src\MonoDevelop.Projects\MonoDevelop.Projects.Parser
and the
Extras\CSharpBinding\Parser
classes right?

I only took a glance at it but it looks promising.
I saw that these Parser classes depends for example on the Project
class but as long I am not using any of the gtk# gui I should have
no probs get it running on windows too. right?

thx
Lukas
