Know of any open source projects written in C#, that don’t use any other .Net related technologies ( such as WinForms,WCF, WPF etc )?

Question

Do you know of any open source code that would go beyond the basic exercises (aka demonstrations of how particular C# construct works), thus a C# code that would have some real world value?

I did read similar threads ( http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1391909/as-a-net-beginner-what-should-i-learn-and-where-can-i-find-open-source-projects ) and the sites suggested (like http://www.codeplex.com and http://sourceforge.net), but all the apps I’ve found there are built using C# in conjunction with other technologies ( such as WinForms, Asp.Net, WCF, WPF, F#,Javascript ), while at the moment all I know is C#, a bit of Html and a bit of Ado.Net.

I do plan to learn these technologies also, but that could take months while I’d like to create some useful C# apps right now.

thanx

Apache has a few .NET projects; log4net might be one to look at:
