To address alike situation, Microsoft provides attributes, assembly, and marshaling to offer interoperability between managed-unmanaged code(not .net aware/running outside the clr boundaries) and managed-legacy COM.
Investigate the use of dynamics and the (Dynamic language runtime- DLR) which should be more than fine.
code example (using kernel32.dll) as an example of calling unmanaged code from a managed context

[DllImport("kernel32.dll", EntryPoint="MoveFile",
ExactSpelling=false, CharSet=CharSet.Unicode,
SetLastError=true)]
static extern bool MoveFile(string sourceFile, string destinationFile);

//calling the function
static void Main()
{
    MoveFile("sheet.xls", @"c:\sheet.xls");
}
