Unfortunately the DLLs created by Corman Lisp are standard Windows Win32 DLLs, and they are neither assemblies nor COM components. A .NET assembly, although it uses a .dll extension and is a PE (portable executable) format, is a very different thing from a normal DLL. It is all managed code, compiled to run under .NET. Corman Lisp does not currently support .NET. You can certainly run it from Visual C++, even from Managed C++ code under .NET. However, C++ offers transparent ability to link to Win32 DLLs and C# does not. There may be some way to do it but I don't know C# well.
