Subversion uses SWIG http://www.swig.org to provide wrappers for a number of 
different languages, but I'm not sure if they have provided the SWIG interface 
files for C# yet. Best ask on the subversion mailing list. If they aren't 
available, it should be relatively painless to create the .net interface files 
off the Java interface files.
