Hi, Pablo.

The Redland.NET.dll is the only managed assembly; it calls into the 
other ones (which it is wrapping with a C# binding).
So, you only need to add a reference to the Redland.NET.dll.

There are several C# examples in the redland-bindings source code and 
some documentation of the classes is available on the redland website.

Briefly, the Redland.Model class is used to add/remove/enumerate 
statements (Redland.Statement); the Redland.Parser class handles input 
while Redland.Serializer handles output. And of course Redland.Query is 
used to query the model. Finally, Redland.Storage provides the backing 
store.

The C# bindings probably need updating at some point as they are not 
generated by SWIG like the other bindings are.
