statement.cs resolves statements, and statements contain expressions.

You are looking at the wrong place, you need to look at expression.cs. 
To understand the compiler design, you might want to use an object
browser like Monotalk (on cvs) or read the compiler documentation.

Look at the IndexerAccess class for example.
