I need to make use of some OWL ontologies in c#. Does anyone have a suggestion where I can start? Or if there are any libraries available for .NET please?

Take a look at ROWLEX:
ROWLEX is a powerful open source toolkit for software developers. It has been built to simplify the use of fundamental semantic web technologies (RDF and OWL) under Microsoft’s .NET platform.

Does it let you add an OWL which is already created, or you have to create it manually in the .NET app?

I think you have to generate an assembly for it, but there's a tool for this (see OwlGrinder) near the bottom of http://rowlex.nc3a.nato.int/HowToUse.aspx

thanks ! this looks really good. what i dont understand is when we load the OWL, do we load a schema or the whole thing with all the entities we need and information?

Not sure since I haven't used that piece. you might want to ask a new question with the rowlex/owl tags -- I think the ROWLEX dev answers questions around here from time to time: http://stackoverflow.com/users/112091/rowlex-admin
