The example below will send a opt-in email:

First install the NuGet package: Install-Package mcapi.net

    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        const string apiKey = "6ea5e2e61844608937376d514-us2";   // Replace it before
        const string listId = "y657cb2495";                      // Replace it before

        var options = new List.SubscribeOptions();
        options.DoubleOptIn = true;
        options.EmailType = List.EmailType.Html;
        options.SendWelcome = false;

        var mergeText = new List.Merges("email@provider.com", List.EmailType.Text)
                    {
                        {"FNAME", "John"},
                        {"LNAME", "Smith"}
                    };
        var merges = new List<List.Merges> { mergeText };

        var mcApi = new MCApi(apiKey, false);
        var batchSubscribe = mcApi.ListBatchSubscribe(listId, merges, options);

        if (batchSubscribe.Errors.Count > 0)
            Console.WriteLine("Error:{0}", batchSubscribe.Errors[0].Message);
        else
            Console.WriteLine("Success");

        Console.ReadKey();
    }
