PC/SC (smart card / windows card) in .NET?

I bought a smart card reader writer development kit.  It uses the Windows built-in PCSC interface.

There is information on the MSDN device driver developers area about the PCSC standard adn the driver built into Windows, but I can't find anything with regards to a .NET native smart card assembly, or an existing wrapper that P/Invokes the scbase dll.

Does anyone know of an existing wrapper for interfacing with a PC/SC compliant smart card in Windows using .NET

    There is a commercial Smart Card Framework for managed .NET applications available at http://subsembly.com/. This includes a PC/SC compliant wrapper and much more. The name is SmartCard Subsembly.
