Antlr with compiler for CIL code

Question

I'm doing a compiler for study purpose.

It uses Antlr tool targeted for c# code generation.

So far, i can handle the gramar. Lexical, Sintatic, my tests are ok.

My aim is to generate CIL bytecode, i'm kinda familiar with it.

The problem is... I don't know a good way to "output" the code. I'd like some advice, example to generate it.

One thought i have, is to create a Class "compiler" with tons of method related to the node and call the method as the tree is iterated.

Ideia:

Class Compiler
{
   private AppededStrings = "";

   void CreateClass();
   void EndClass();
   void AddParam();
   void setAtributeToTheClass("public");
   ... and so on ...
}

Is this a good approach? I could not find a topic talking specific about this.
