Yes. There are two basic options:
P/Invoke - do a search in the docs, start with http://www.pinvoke.net for
method signatures for many Win32 API's.
Managed C++ - you can used managed C++ to create a managed wrapper around
existing unmanaged C++ code.
COM Interop - calling into existing COM objects.
P/Invoke only works if the code you want to call is in a DLL.

Subject: [padnug] Can I call unmanaged code from managed code?
Can I call unmanaged code from managed code? I'm thinking of some ASP .NET
opposite number for the Java Native Interface (JNI). Do people do this?
My reasons are 1) accessing some C/C++ legacy code and 2) dropping into
assembly for some selected routines.
