Has anyone heard of an open-source .NET engine that calculates the
winning and losing percentages of hands?

No - I started writing a poker player at one time but never finished
it. I reckoned that the easiest way of getting a good idea of the odds
is to play a million hands with random decks (given the dealt cards),
and see how many of them win. The maths involved in a precise
calculation would be horrendous.
