There are samples provided with .NETLink, for calling .NET from
Mathematica anf for evaluating Mathematica expressions from C#;

Well, it actually is pretty simple. Have you read the .NETUserguide provided
with Mathematica or .NETLink?

Basically, what you have to do these steps:
With C#
 - Write your code in a class and compile it into an Assembly;

In Mathematica:
 - invoke Needs["NETLink`"] and InstallNET[] to get .NETLink up and running;
 - Load the assembly (either by specifying the full pathname or by
   using its name in the .NET installation (see the Userguide for details));
 - LoadNETType with the name of your C# class;
 - invoke the method;

For invoking methods, you have to distinguish between member and static
methods;  read the Userguide for details on that (there is a section
named "Contexts and Visibility of Static Type Members" for that);
