Hi,

The source code for Mono's VB implementation is located here:

http://github.com/mono/mono-basic

However the code is not up-to-date with the newest VB versions (it's
compatible with VB8, which came out with VS2005; i.e. it's 10 years old
now). My recommendation would be to look at the the Roslyn VB compiler from
Microsoft instead (
https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn/tree/master/src/Compilers/VisualBasic),
unless you have any particular interest in our code.

Best regards,
Rolf
