You can execute JScript from C#. Add a reference to Microsoft.JScript and use something like this:

using Microsoft.JScript;
object result = Microsoft.JScript.Eval.JScriptEvaluate("my javascript code", Microsoft.JScript.Vsa.VsaEngine.CreateEngine());

javascript is not adapted for desktop applications. You could use a WebBrowser to embed some web page widget which will execute the javascript.
