What would be your motivation (just curious).
Coincidence, I've just reinstalled GNAT for .NET today to be able to reproduce a nasty bug of the 2013-2014 edition (a really trivial reproducer program could freeze a Windows PC efficiently), but with the .NET platform version change (I guess), the program did not even want to start. That's the problem with .NET: you need to keep up with Windows and .NET versions separately, and with what in exchange, except a loss of performance ? From a marketing point of view, it made sense 15 years ago for Microsoft, being able to sell "their" virtual machine.
