How can I compile C code for use in .NET?
There is a game that written in C; how can I convert it to .Net code or use some parts of it?

A:
You can't use C code directly within .NET.
You have a couple of options:
Compile the C code into a dynamic link library, and use P/Invoke in order to call it from your .NET program.
Port the C code to .NET.
Wrap the C code using C++/CLI (making a mixed mode assembly), and use these from within your other .NET language of choice.

Actually, there is a C to CIL compiler.

@shaahin: The topic was closed because your question wasn't written very well. Better written questions get better responses. As for the best option above - all three have advantages and disadvantages... It's hard to label one as better than the other, at least without more information.
