Do you really think this is a good idea? C# is a very different language from C and C++, despite superficial similarities. Also, the language is not really designed to cope with manual memory management, and would be quite complicated to use in such a context. (Not that this has much to do with the compiler itself anyway.)

I also don't quite understand your goal. What do you mean by interact? Do you also want to interact with real C#? Do you want to interact on the source level or the binary level?
