.Net addons can be written, in short you write a regular native addon and add .Net calls via CLI/C++ calls to .Net dlls.

In practice you usually create a C# dll library which you then call from a CLI/C++ node addon project. There is a bit of delicacies such as making sure that the actual node add on definition file is compiled without CLR support so node can load it correctly.
