The solution is described here: K-Means clustering for mixed numeric and categorical data
C# implementation can be found in ALGLIB library, which I strongly recommend: http://www.alglib.net/translator/man/manual.csharp.html#gs_packages

ALGLIB looks really interesting! I'm a Data Scientist working in a .NET shop, and am looking to learn C#. Could you tell me a little more about the library? – neuron Nov 21 '14 at 09:38
