Hi
You can sit a REST server atop of Drupal using the services module, you should be able to consume a REST service with .net fairly easily.
You might need to post a bit more detail about what you're planning to do in order to solicit some more specific integration details.

Drupal has the same

Drupal has the same integration capabilities as .Net. But if your expecting Drupal to consume .net apps natively it's not going to happen. its the same in the other direction.

As Larowlan said you could use Rest or some other web service layer to work between the two.

you could use iframes, albeit is little kludgy

Or you could look alternative .Net CMS' such as DotnetNuke or Orchard

or rewite the apps in PHP/Drupal Modules

There are a couple of modules to be found on Drupal but I think you would be bests served by building your own layer.

Drupal uses php wrapped in a Drupal framework so your starting point is looking for php examples of web services using php and working up from there.

you also need to make the service available form the .net site as wel. Once your do the layer on .net sorted then you can create any interfaces for other platforms (Android, iOS )and CMS'.

You'll gain a lot of flexibility while becoming interface agnostic
