Use the VBA Shell command.

Example:

Shell """C:\Program Files\CSharpProgram\CSharpProgram.exe"" Parameter1 Parameter Second"

Double "double quotes" inside "double quotes" translate to single "double quotes" in VBA/VB6. Helps if you need to use paths with spaces.

The shell command is asynchronous by default.

Check out the Shell function reference at Microsoft Website:
