It is very frustrating. When I called yesterday I tried to explain to the guy the common logic that .NET is very popular and they would gain more users but he wouldn't listen. Then I asked him if there will be an API for MT4 and he said spammers caused too many problems for brokers in MT3 so there will be none in MT4. To me that said a lot about where they stand as a company. They are paid by brokers and that's who they work for and will support.

I partly believe that it might be possible to make calls to a .NET dll directly if it is compiled as COM exposed. When I tried to do it MT loaded the dll successfully but failed to call the method. I'd like to help with your effort but it seems that maintaining a wrapper might be a good deal of work. I'd be more motivated if it was 100% .NET. But I can only try the same few variances of calling the .NET dll so many times. The obvious things are that the .NET dll would need to be COM compatible, public and have public static methods. But referencing the namespaces might be where the confusion lies. I just wish I could tell for sure whether MetaQuotes is just being lazy or it is really impossible to use .NET. Does anyone know of any other successful DLL calls made through a language other than C++ such as VB 6 or Delphi?
