I'm wanting to obtain area measurements just like the flood MeasureArea command in Microstation. However, I want the user to obtain these measurements through my addin rather than that tool. I want to use the exact same function that MeasureArea --> Flood uses in microstation but I'll be modifying the data obtained for my user and that's why I need the addin.
I've not yet found a C# method for addins for obtaining a measureArea --> flood measurement once the user has clicked a coordinate in the DGN file. Does a method exist?
Search for flood in VBA help.

Are all these VBA methods available to C# addins? I don't see GetFloodBoundary anywhere for C# in Visual Studio intellisense. I'm new to Microstation development. How much functionality can the C# addin objects perform? Is it necessary for advanced functionality to use the MicrostationAPI and C++?

When developing using a .NET language, you need to reference MicroStation's VBA COM server via a .NET InterOp.
There's a huge range of functions in VBA, documented in VBA help .

That depends on what you mean by 'advanced functionality'.
