You can use marshalling to access C++ code in your C# code.

Have a look at MSDN, too.

An example

[DllImport("example.dll")]
static public extern void DoSomething(int value);

and you can use your method in your C# code like usual

DoSomething(42);

Can be a bit confusing because you have to "map" the C++ types to C# and reverse.
