How about trying to communicate with external APIs. E.g. write a program which gives you the distance between 2 postcodes by using the Google Maps API, or write a currency conversion/graphing program by using the API available from https://openexchangerates.org/, or try to get a list of items ending in the next 10 minutes off eBay.

Just a few ideas

What are you trying to achieve by learning C#?
Is it for a hobby/yourself or do you want to make a career or it?

A program that downloads multiple RSS feeds and displays the results.

A program that encrypts a file for safe keeping, and decrypts it later when you want it.

Why? Sounds like a BOFH to do. Very annoying dude. At minimum make the alerts dependant on the MYSQL load or number of connections left

Try building a service that you can instruct via rpc make it both statefull and network stateless. Enable it to query services that are cross platform. Look at using JSON payloads almost to the level that it has it's own API

Extend popular open source projects don't look at reinventing the wheel
