The Common Libraries for .NET provides functionality used by the Force.com Toolkit for .NET and the Chatter Toolkit for .NET. While you can use the Common Libraries for .NET independently, it is recommended that you use it through one of the toolkits.
These libraries were built using the Async/Await pattern for asynchronous development and .NET portable class libraries, making it easy to target multiple Microsoft platforms, including .NET 4/4.5, Windows Phone8, Windows 8/8.1, and Silverlight 5.
You can try the library immmediately by installing this NuGet package.
