A few things here:
- Running C# on "A Microsoft cloud server" ideally SharePoint.
- SharePoint in the Cloud (SharePoint Online) will not allow you to deploy C# code to it directly.
- Why SharePoint? Are there any technical or business reasons to do this in SharePoint? Is this an app that will be consumed by users on an intranet page?
Here's what I recommend:
Create a standalone web application in Azure that can have whatever back end you want to communicate with your DLL, and whatever front-end you want to communicate with your users.
You could implement your own back-end with (for example) an Azure Function and Azure API Management and then plug whatever front-end you want into it - be it a standalone web page or a SharePoint full-page SPFx web part.
Regardless, you're not going to be deploying C# to a SharePoint Online (cloud) environment - you'll need to deploy that elsewhere such as Azure and implement front-ends depending on your application design.
