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

$\begingroup$ 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? $\endgroup$– neuronCommented Nov 21, 2014 at 9:38
