Getting a list of Keywords - SyntaxEditor .NET Languages Add-on for Windows Forms Forum

How can i traverse or otherwise retrieve a list of all keywords for VB within the .Net addon? I.e. I need a list of everything like "If", "Do", "Loop" etc...

I know I can hard code a list... but I would believe there would be a way to get the list from the semantic parser or frrom the .Net addon somehow?

We do something like this in our lexer:

for (int index = (int)VBTokenID.KeywordStart + 1; index < (int)VBTokenID.KeywordEnd; index++) {
    string keyword = VBTokenID.GetTokenKey(index).ToLowerInvariant();
    if (keyword.EndsWith("keyword"))
        keyword = keyword.Substring(0, keyword.Length - 7);
    // Add to collection here
}
