It greatly depend on what degree of control over the bacnet-stack you 
expect to have in c#, it you just need to invoke some property-reading 
and writing, you might easily interface your C# classes with a custom 
C++/CLI classes library of yours, linked with the unmodified core 
bacnet-stack.

That's what I did for our customers a few years ago now they are still 
pretty happy.

The only tricky part is to turn the native "array" / "lists" of objects 
into the pretty managed C# objects.. and vice-versa..

.. we had a look at this project in 2010 but sadly it was not very 
stable (and just not working with the controllers we had to ). Maybe it 
is now better -- or maybe the code inside is interesting.
