Read MSDN.
TBS Reference: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa446794(VS.85).aspx
Using TBS: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms725663(v=VS.85).aspx
TBS Base Services: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa446796(VS.85).aspx

You may also want to look at this article from MS about TPM, some of them with sample code:

The question was about C#. Those links are all about TBS, a C++ library. – Narva

Answer 2

It looks like Microsoft's TPM library for C++ ('TBS') has no equivalent in .Net, but there's an external library from Microsoft that provides a binding - TSS.Net

The documentation lives in a .docx file.

It's a really old question...

But, for anyone looking for it now-days, There's a C# solution for TPM 2.0 in GitHub:
