Looking for a Visual Scripting Language written in C#

[Cremoni]

I'm looking for a visual scripting language to write poker logic. There
must be several things out there, but I haven't been able to find
anything suitable. I've seen similar systems in the past. I recently
left Maxis, where I used to work on The Sims. It seems to be common
knowledge that we used a visual scripting language called "Edith". I'm
guessing that a lot of video game developers write their own similar
systems.

Here are some requirements:

Graphical: I'm picturing a bunch of nodes with lines between them. The
user can drag the nodes around on the screen and drag connections
between the nodes.

Procedural: Control flow goes from node to node, and only 1 node is
active at a given time. This is in contrast to "data flow" languages
like MAX/MSP.

Extensible: I need to be able to write my own node types and the
corresponding editors. In C#.

Security: I need to make sure that nobody uses my graphs or nodes in
applications for which they were not intended. I can't have anybody
using this tool to write poker bots.

Platform: It definately needs to run under windows. C# is my
preference.

And it has to look cool.

MAX/MSP looks similar to what I had in mind, but it doesn't fit my
requirements (or look cool).

Any help would be appreciated. I don't mind rolling my own, but I'd
prefer to get involved in something with a community behind it.

Softwire [1] may work out for you and it also runs within Visual Studio.NET
2003.
It was interesting to just discover it is now free.
