C# project - Smartie wannabe

Greetings, all. I am pretty new to this whole LCD/VFD programming, and need some advice. I really like what Smartie LCD 5.2 has to offer and want to integrate with its open source code, but I don;t know Delphi or have a compiler for it.
I have a project in progress written in C# (.NET) and want to know if anybody already has some C# code to help save me time. I really wanted to be able to interface with Smartie and simply allow my application to push data through it, kind of like a plugin or mod.
I REALLY don't want to reinvent the wheel to do this. Ideas? Resources?
Thanks!

I don't know much/anything about C#, but if you compile it as a dll, then you can call to it from within lcd smartie (like this: $dll(name.dll,2,param1,param2) Where the 2 is replaced with the number of the function within the dll (i.e. 2 would mean the second function)

I've written some notes on LCD Smartie's plugin support - you will find them in the instruction section of the smartie website. If you need further help then post in the smartie forums.

.Net plugins are supported in beta 3! There's a demo c# plugin available from here:

I will give you an early build, if you want to do development before beta 3 is released.
