EDIT:

I created a C# library to do this, so if everyone else need this function, grab it here:

You will need to use PInvoke (documentation : http://www.mono-project.com/Interop_with_Native_Libraries) the native (c/c++) functions for this. For linux the native function / struct is listed here : How Do You Programmatically Set the Hardware Clock on Linux?

How can I find out which .so file I need to invoke (like the "fd" and "ioctl" function)? – NKnusperer Nov 28 '10 at 13:55
its not fd its "open" and is present in libc.so :) Check out http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2326636/identifying-which-linux-system-library-contains-a-function for finding out ioctl. All the best. Kindly mark as answered if done. – basarat Nov 28 '10 at 14:04
