NSFileManager *fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
// If the expected store doesn't exist, copy the default store.
if (![fileManager fileExistsAtPath:dataPath]) {
    // get the path to the app bundle (with the tessdata dir)
    NSString *bundlePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] bundlePath];
    NSString *tessdataPath = [bundlePath stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"tessdata"];
    if (tessdataPath) {

To get to the documents folder you can use:

string docPath = Environment.GetFolderPath (Environment.SpecialFolder.Personal);

To manage files in there, you can use the normal System.IO methods. Like creating folders/files, etc.
