Ndesk-dbus is a c# implementation of d-bus. it's often referred to as "managed d-bus" to avoid confusion with existing bindings (which wrap libdbus).

d-bus is a message bus, used for sending messages between applications. conceptually, it fits somewhere in between raw sockets and corba in terms of complexity.

this package provides integration into the glib mainloop.

this package provides the ndesk-dbus-glib library itself.
