It is possible. You need to install the driver and the SDK for the GPIB interface card used in your PC. The SDK might contain a .NET interface. If so, use it according to the documentation (which usually provides sample code). If not, you have to call the unmanaged API functions provided by the DLL from the SDK (searching the web for .NET examples for your interface card might help). If you did not have a GPIB interface card so far, choose one that provides a .NET interface.

Finally study the documentation of the GPIB devices to implement the required commands.
