Attempting to create a Mediaportal Plugin - API Help Needed

Hi All,
I am attempting to create a MediaPortal (HTPC Software) plugin to display and control torrents running on a transmission-daemon. The Mediaportal plugin is in C# and I am very new to it so progress is a little slow. What I am trying to work out is is there an API or similar for Transmission? Is there any documentation on how to send commands to the daemon? Thanks in advance for any pointers!

You might as well just skip Transmission RPC.... Yes there is an API, dig through the wiki or maybe even look at the "Frontends" on the main
www.transmissionbt site since some of them are open source.

Yes I looked at the frontends, and there is transmission-remote-dotnet which will be useful, this appears to use Jayrock as the interface to transmission which is a JSON library in C#.
I cannot find any details of APIs in the Wiki, any pointers please? Thanks.

Not sure who that comment was aimed at ... anyway, just as a follow up for anyone interested, I used JayRock to handle all the RPC stuff and did use the spec at the above address to work out what i needed to send in JSON.
Final plugin here:

only seen 3 posts like that so far on this forum (though I don't read the entire forum) so it seems to be a new way to try and get around any automated spam filtering.
