The Sugar-Sharp assembly doesn't include today the binding for the Telepathy Framework so we can't communicate with Sugar for networking operation. By the way, there is already a Telepathy-Sharp that exists here: <a href="http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/wiki/TelepathySharp">Link</a>. If somebody already has used Telepathy sharp earlier and/or knows about the working of Telepathy and how it is interoperable with Sugar, then the person could integrate TelepathySharp in his project and do the right call to communicate with Sugar.

Please guide me along the process. </div>I agree with what Bert said. If you really want to create a framework that makes easier developing activities with C# and are ready to make the effort required, then you will need to slowly learn the basics and go up step by step. A good starting point is to follow these tutorials/guides: <a href="http://en.flossmanuals.net/ActivitiesGuideSugar" target="_blank">http://en.flossmanuals.net/ActivitiesGuideSugar</a> <a href="http://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-tutorial.html" target="_blank">http://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-tutorial.html</a> <a href="http://www.ndesk.org/DBus_Documentation" target="_blank">http://www.ndesk.org/DBus_Documentation</a> You will also need to be willing to read quite a bit of Python and C code.
