Bram, I managed to get this working.
If you could update ole-activation section of the help, it might help
others.
Add a reference to VIM in your project. You need to select "VIM Ole
Interface" from the COM tab.
Add "using Vim; " to the top of the file.
Then the following code works.
Vim.Vim vimobj = new Vim.Vim();
vimobj.SendKeys(":enew\n");
