Have a look at the C# Chess Game Starter Kit. It is a C# Open Source Application that does exactly what you requested and it is free for commercial use.

Problem

Is there any library which can be used to validate chess moves and simulate games in .NET? It would be great if the library can understand moves in Algebraic notation and also provide simple API for making moves. For example, game.Move("E2","E4") etc. In the second case, the library should be able to generate Algebraic notation for the moves. I don't want it to make moves or to play chess etc, just a library for game validation and game simulation. Any links?
