Hey
I've been using XBMC via their official android remote for ages now but recently got a MS Surface and there isn't a good complete remote for it yet (there are 1 or 2 ok ones, but severely lacking in features).
Anyway, I've not been developing software for that long, but have been making a few windows 8 apps to get up to speed, but what I would really like to do is create an XBMC remote for Windows RT which has more of the features I want.

Is there any kind of Intro guide out there to creating XBMC remote control programs? (preferably in c#)

Thank to anyone that can help

Easiest way I'm aware of would be to just use the JSON-RPC interface.
There's a .Net library available here which should give you most of what you need:
