Are you sure there is no way around this? Why exactly do you want to
do this? The Xorg reference implementation is written in unmanned C.
There are DDXs that operate like that, but they are integrated with
the X server and written in C. If your program doesn't have to be
entirely .NET/C#, you *might* be able to use C# to implement the DDX
(or at least part of it)....

I think the NoMachine NX client is an Xorg DDX based upon the Xnest
DDX. I don't think they used C#, but they did build an application
around an X server, you might look into how they did it.
If you can't use any unmanned code, you can will either have to write
a translator to convert the C in Xorg code to C#, find some other X
server you can use (I am not aware of any free X servers other than
Xorg) or implement a new X server from scratch.
Thank you for your time,
