You can certainly use libdivecomputer from C#. But instead of trying to link the 
C code into your application, you can simply call the native functions from the 
library (build as dll) using P/Invoke.

I've attached some minimal example code. I never had time to finish it, but I 
think there should be enough to get you started.
