You need IPC like unix sockets, named pipes, shared memory or dbus.

If those options are not portable enough for your needs you can also
use higher abstraction like HTTP REST to do cross-language
interoperability. In case C# is the host/provider then you can use
ServiceStack, for C++ I don't know.

If your deployment is Linux-only, dbus is the easiest approach.
