MSDN tells us:

The #define directive cannot be used to declare constant values as is typically done in C and C++. Constants in C# are best defined as static members of a class or struct. If you have several such constants, consider creating a separate "Constants" class to hold them.

You can create library using managed C++ that includes class - wrapper around your constants. Then you can reference this class from C# project. Just don't forget to use readonly < type > instead of const < type > for your constants declaration :)
