IIUC, your sandbox cannot be a .NET application, or it will not be
able to run "arbitrary code" because it will be restricted to running
only .NET bytecode inside the .NET virtual machine.  If that is
correct and if C# can only be compiled to .NET and can only run in
the .NET virtual machine, then C# is ruled out.  If you want to run
"arbitrary code", you must run outside the .NET virtual machine
(possibly running a .NET virtual machine _inside_ your sandbox).
