Iam not sure what makes you think C# has something to do with assembler, the
NG comp.lang.asm would be abetter choice for you. Anyway, there is a way to
use assembler with .NET (not C#): CIL/MSIL, the common intermediate language
which is the base for all .NET programs. It is not an assembler for a real
machine for for a virtual machine, and is maybe a good thing to start with
since it is much simpler than other assembly languages.
