It makes no sense due to very different programming models. The whole problem of using C# in development of native (unmanaged) applications is not trivial. Many developers thought is was impossible because such opportunity is not available in C# programming. However, CLI standard allows exporting of managed method from a .NET assembly to unmanaged. There is a smooth method of developing such libraries and any .NET language based on re-assembling of regular libraries. For further detail, please read my old Answer on the topic: loading C# DLL in MFC[^].

Did you read this article yourself? It is completely dedicated to native programming (unmanaged) with no mention of .NET or C#. I cannot help answering the question in principle.

FROM OP: or if there is anyway to convert the c# dll to lib

Not completely. That is why I asked the op to have a look into it whether it might help him.
