How to get motherboard sensor readings in C#

Question

I'm trying to get any temp/fanspeed/accelerometer readings from my motherboard in C# I have done a lot of research and I know its not easy, but it has to be possible to get something I can work with.

I have tried using motherboardmonitor.net but I can't figure out how to incorporate the dll into my program.

I have tried "using motherboardmonitor" with the motherboardmonitor.DLL i downloaded. But there is absolutely no documentation on how to use it. Im just fumbling around with it at the moment to no avail.

And I have tried using the sensor.dll but I dont think i have enough knowledge to go any further.

Are you asking how to add a library resource to a C# project in Visual Studio? — Preston Guillot, Dec 06 '12 at 21:03
Can you please link to where you downloaded motherboardmonitor.net? — Ian R. O'Brien, Dec 06 '12 at 21:03
Getting the source code might help you - there may be documentation in the source code that isn't included in the dll: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mbmdotnet/files/ — Jeff, Dec 06 '12 at 21:04

Or have you tried using the Object Browser to discover anything? — Jared, Dec 06 '12 at 21:07
