You probably mean like in Xamarin Studio exactly Xamarin.Android (AKA 
Mono for Android - M4A
or even further in history Monodroid)

I don't think it is possible like in M4A, at least not with a lot 
tweaks/secrets etc.
M4A is commercial product and this binding of java jars to c# world is 
this simple automagic process
is not implemented elsewhere (with few steps more it can be done with ikvm)
The core of this process is generator[.exe] which produces assemblies 
for M4A and those cannot be
used in ASP.net projects (some cmdline switches are Android specific 
like SDK and API version).

With ikvm you can

  * run java code inside mono CLR, or
  * compile (jit) java jars to native x86 (what c, c++ would output) and
    use PInvoke

Just for fun - take a look on XobotOS
