Adding to Jim's reply, yes you can do both of these:

1) Write COM clients in C# (that connect to and use a COM server).

2) Write COM servers in C# (that other COM clients can connect to, including pure native ones written in C or C++).

To answer your question:

Yes it is possible to develop a C#.NET application that supports automation, including OLE should you so wish. If you focus your search on Office Automation and COM Interop, you're going the right way.
