If you actually want to respond to the AssemblyResolve event then use an internal call.

The basic procedure is:

Define  a static managed event handler function like so.
Register this as a handler for AssemblyResolve.

namespace MyStuff.EventHelper
{
 [MethodImpl(MethodImplOptions.InternalCall)]
 public static extern Assembly AssemblyResolved(object sender, ResolveEventArgs args);
}

When it fires it will call a native static function.
Register the function like so.

mono_add_internal_call ("MyStuff.EventHelper: AssemblyResolved", &myStaticNativeFunction);

static MonoAssembly * myStaticNativeFunction(MonoObject* monoSender, MonoObject* monoResolveEventArgs) {

	MonoAssembly *assembly = nil;

	// use mono_runtime_invoke to query monoResolveEventArgs

	return assembly.
}

Have you taken a look at https://github.com/robert-j/Mono.Embedding?
This provides a C++ thunk based code generator.
