When it comes to accessing generic objects/classes, it's usually easier 
to implement managed helper methods than doing all the footwork in
C/C++, e.g.:

static void int GetCount(List<string> list)
{
	return list.Count;
}

static string GetElementAt(List<string> list, int pos)
{
	return list[pos];
}


Manually (in C/C++), you'd need to obtain the method
"IEnumerable_GetEnumerator" (notice the rule of building
explicit interface method names) from the class of the list
object, something like that:

MonoObject *list = ...
MonoClass *klass = mono_object_get_class (list);
MonoMethod *method = mono_class_get_method_from_name(klass,
"IEnumerable_GetEnumerator", 0);

Then invoke the method to obtain the enumerator with
mono_runtime_invoke ().
