 * this appears to be a GIS with an associated ActiveX control underneath

 * implementation of JTS in C#


 * monoGIS
 * http://www.monogis.org/

 * uses GDAL, NTS, GeoTools.NET, etc


 * GeoTools.NET
 * http://geotoolsnet.sourceforge.net/Index.html
 * appears to be an NTS port, but unrelated to the above one
 * I don't think it is related to the well-known GeoTools kit at http://geotools.codehaus.org/


 * FDO
 * FDO has .Net wrappers (equivalent to its c++ API)
 * http://fdo.osgeo.org/
 * LGPL


 * MapGuide

 * http://mapguide.osgeo.org/
 * LGPL


 * NASA WorldWind
 * the original version was done in C#


 * NHibernate.Spatial

 * http://www.codeplex.com/NHibernateSpatial
 * LGPL


 * Proj.Net
 * "A .NET 2.0 library that performs point-to-point coordinate conversions between coordinate systems. The spatiel reference model used adheres to the Simple Features specification."
