Richard,

Sorry, poor reading comprehension on my part. :-(

Yes, there is a corresponding C# method called SetMetadataItem() on
dataset and raster band objects.

I'm not a c# guy so I can't easily prepare an example but basically
it will be something a bit like:

   dataset = GDALOpen( "abc.tif", GA_Update );
   dataset.SetMetadataItem( "MyItem", "MyValue", NULL );
   ... close the dataset however that is done in C# ...
