Found an old ruby-mono project while I was cleaning up:

require 'mono'

class RPCClient
  def initialize server
    @assembly = Mono::loadAssembly( "rpcclient.dll" )
    @RPC = @assembly.new "Remoting::Client"
    @RPC.Initialize( server )
  end

  def call rpc_call
    @RPC.Call( rpc_call )
  end
end

Remoting::Client was a C# class that would send a string request over
a TCP remote channel to a Remoting::Server and return the string
response.
