Midi implementation within .Net

Question

Does anyone have any guidance or recommendations for writing a MIDI-based application in C# Winforms? I have recently bought a new effects pedal that has a full MIDI implementation (or so I'm led to believe) but the manufacturers have seen fit to not release a librarian / patch editing application.

I have virtually no experience of MIDI beyond plugging a keyboard into another MIDI device, but it can't be that hard, right? ;-)

Thanks in advance.

Old question, but you can check out my DryWetMIDI library. It has a lot of features and rich documentation. As for working with devices, this article will be a good start point.
