Hi,

basically you have to provide a DLL, which can be called by the .NET CLR
through it's Foreign Language Interface.
As a first starting point, I'd recommend a look at "Bedevere"
http://bedevere.sourceforge.net/, which is a project, that binds GNU Prolog
to Python. This is done with the help of SWIG, an automated interface
builder for various languages

Of course, if you are lazy, you can work just with this environment, since
binding a Python Interpreter to .NET is almost trivial.

Anyway, I would prefer a "proprietary" GNU Prolog <-> .NET Library, not last
because of speed considerations.
