This would be a problem. .NET is a totally different architecture. There is
backward compatibility (you can call 'unsafe' old, native DLLs and routines), but
the other way around isn't possible. The only possibility is creating a
.NET-version of Euphoria, that compiles Euphoria-code into
.NET-assemblies/applications.

The most important question here is: what will we call it? 
A. Euphoria.NET
B. E# (pronounce: e sharp)
C. Something else

Vote for the name you want (or suggest a new name) at UBoard
