I'm new to both C# and InDesign scripting and it took me a little while to figure out how to get access the basic InDesign objects through C# so I thought this snippet of code might be useful for someone else:

InDesign.Application myApp;
InDesign.Document myDoc;
InDesign.Documents myDocs;
InDesign.Layers layers;
InDesign.Layer layer;

// Create an InDesign Application Object
Type wa = Type.GetTypeFromProgID("InDesign.Application.2.0", true);

myApp = (InDesign.Application) Activator.CreateInstance(wa);

// Get the document collection from the indesign application
myDocs = (InDesign.Documents) myApp.Documents;

// Create a new document
myDocs.Add();

// Get the active document
myDoc = (InDesign.Document) myApp.ActiveDocument;

layers = (InDesign.Layers) myDoc.Layers;

layer = (InDesign.Layer) layers.Add();

It just gets the InDesign application object, creates a document and then creates a layer.
