Note that C# as a language is not currently supported.  We support Java,
MATLAB, and more recently C++.

These don't currently exist, I'm afraid.

We do have a C++ library, but it doesn't yet work on Windows (I'm
working on this right now, and it should be in the next point release
unless any major difficulties are encountered).  This is a C++ rather
than a C# API though; unless there's some automatic means to wrap a C++
API for C#, we won't support C# once the C++ API works on Windows.  This
looks like a separate and potentially quite large task.

As a starting point:

C++:
http://www.openmicroscopy.org/site/support/bio-formats5.1/developers/cpp/tutorial.html#metadata
and
http://downloads.openmicroscopy.org/bio-formats-cpp/5.1.2/api/classome_1_1bioformats_1_1FormatReader.html
Java:
