c# autocad dxf

Does anyone know of source code, ideally in C# or similar, for reading .DXF files (as used by AutoCAD etc)? If not code, then tables showing the various codes (elements / blocks / etc) and their meanings?

I am writing a reader myself, and have dead tree documentation detailing the format, but am trying to avoid writing e.g. a converter from each of the 255 ACI colours to RGB... Thanks!
