> I have a method in C# which I need to export to Ada using a dll. Maybe

If you're willing to try some MS C++ then the following item might
be useful:

  http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1823466/how-to-call-a-net-dll-from-a-win32-process

the comment portion of which is mostly (it has a code example):

"Another option is to use C++/CLI as a bridge. People are mostly
  familiar with using it to wrap unmanaged APIs to expose to managed
  code, but it actually works both ways - it is possible to compile
  with /clr, and yet produce a .dll assembly with plain unmanaged
  exports, which can be called from unmanaged code as usual.
   ...
  In practice it will load CLR runtime into the calling process
  (unless it's already loaded there) and dispatch from native code
  to managed code transparently - all the magic is done by C++/CLI
  compiler."

Have fun.
