USB 6008 programming in C#

Okay, this seems to be the right place... kinda empty in here though.

So, I'm making a hardware test fixture using a 6008 and a 6501 module. I seem to have the digital I/O working on the 6008, and the Analog measurements are working now as well. So, how can I read a freq? I need to check 4 of them, I was going to use tri-states or optoisolators to switch the 4 freqs into one input (counter).

So far the examples aren't helping. The bleeding things won't run! In VS2008 or VS2005. The also seem to be made by the most complicated manner possible. An example shouldn't use reference by value or 4 methods being called.

Any help? Pseudo code or the like much appreciated.

I usually program my NI Devices in LabVIEW using DAQmx (much simpler than text-based languages).  The USB-6008 has a single counter, so you have to do a little extra work to get counts/(unit time).  A Web search led to this link -- hope it is helpful.
