C# can call C functions, and C++ code can be made to look like C for external use. — Basile Starynkevitch, Jan 09 '14 at 06:05

You can create a dll project in C++ and import the C++ dll into C# project. For more details, you can refer to: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc164123.aspx
If you want to use C++ in c# code directly, you can create a CLR(C++/CLI) project, then you can write c++ and c# code in the same project. For more details, please refer to:

Create a C interfaces and the call methods using PInvoke
Create a C++/CLI wrapper

There are more options actually, but those two are easier. – ichramm Jan 09 '14 at 06:07
