Build the C code as a DLL, and then use "P/Invoke" to call it. You'll need to learn a bit about interop, which is an area I don't know very much about, I'm afraid – but here are a few links:

A rather old article, but it looks fairly good
BCL Team Blog talking about the P/Invoke Interop Assistant
A recent MSDN Magazine article
The MSDN interop guide
