All the mentioned tools exposes OSLC APIs for external tools and application to exchange data with these application.
http://open-services.net/bin/view/Main/WebHome should let you have a look at the specification for QM, RM, and CM all three.
You would have to write an application to fetch the data using these OSLC APIs. This can be done in any language ( including C# ).
You would find lots of examples in the jazz.net forum or web regarding how to form OSLC queries in order to interect with QM, RM or CM.

Hi Abhishek
Thanks for thge info.Its really helpful. Having adoubt is OSLC was the only available API for these items or REST API too available..?
The OSLC API is a REST API. So Any language/tool that can talk http can work with the API.
For me, the OSLC workshop is the best way to get started with OSLC. It gives you good insight how to work with the API and has source code. Though it is in java, it should give you a head start with C# as well. The full specification for requirement management with OSLC you can find here.
And to be complete, there are three API's that are public for DNG:
- RRC Reportable API - for reporting purposes, only reading artifacts
- OSLC RM V2 API - the open standard way to programmaticaly integrate with DOORS NG
- and additionally, there is the so called client extension capability
