I posted a CodeProject Article this morning with a VMWareTasks C# library on top of the VIX API. It exposes a better programming model for the 99% of those synchronous VMWare scenarios where you don't want to deal with jobs or other more complex constructs. I think we can all benefit from reimplementing the same thing less often!

I'd love to get more features/patches for the library, feel free to (re)use and contribute.
cheers
dB.
Update: I posted a new build 1.0.1604.0: http://code.dblock.org/ShowPost.aspx?id=29
