IMHO

 namespace LibvirtBindings
 {
     public class virDomain
     {
     ....

Is somewhat redundant and better named

 namespace Libvirt
 {
     public class Domain
     {
     ....


The 'vir' prefix on C library APIs/structs is just a hack because C
does not have any concept of namespaces. It shouldn't be copied into
languages which do have proper namespace support
