There is nothing special about microcontroller programming and nothing so special about C# programming. These days, C# is implemented for CLR and CLI, so it can be used everywhere where CLR and CLI are implemented. It's less likely for microcontrollers, because of this part of this word "micro-", and because CLR is not quite "micro". :-)
One example of the microcontroller-based system where you can use C# is Raspberry PI: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi[^].

Yes if they support .NET Micro Framework. http://www.netmf.com/[^]

and: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.NET_Micro_Framework[^]

A widely used platform is Netduino: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netduino[^]

Search Netduino in CP articles.
