I have used RubyCLR and ruby-mono[1], but don't know if I still have
any of the old projects sitting around.  There is also the Sapphire in
Steel Ruby bridge[2] or perhaps hitting .Net via Win32 COM.  I have
some links in my mail archives[3,4,5] but don't know if they still are
alive or useful since my company doesn't allow outbound http anymore.

Found this snippet:
   require 'rubyclr'

   RubyClr::reference_file 'Assembly.dll'

   include Assembly

   connection = DataStoreConnection.new
   connection.Open
