Is there a library to use I2C bus on RPi for Mono/.NET?
I was trying to find anything, but there are only libraries to work with GPIO but not with I2C.

I do not think the Pi version of Linux supports it yet. Only bit banged. Hang on there... or get an external I2C to USB/Serial– Piotr KulaCommented Dec 7, 2012 at 9:57

After long fruitless searching, I still didn't find anything on C#/Mono. So, I had to create my own library. In case someone else is looking for a similar solution, I put it on GitHub: https://github.com/mshmelev/RPi.I2C.Net
I don't know about .Net libraries but have you looked into overo-blinkm?
It was written for controlling an RGB LED. I am sure you can tweak it meet your requirements. It is written for the Gumstix board. I was able to cross compile it for the Raspberry Pi using the native makefile available in the library. I just had to change the I2C address to i2c-dev0

Thanks, it's a good place to start. But I wanted to have some out of the box solution :) Commented Nov 24, 2012 at 3:53

This instructable also offers some perspective with respect to I2C. I am afraid you would be the first one to write one :)– SaiCommented Nov 24, 2012 at 3:58

I use this one. I did a lot of testing, works well. MIT license. https://github.com/thomas3d/RPiCSIO
I have tested several other before, which had some problems.
