The problem is that JavaScript is generally only executed when you render a page. In .net winforms there is a web browser control. If you add this to your form and navigate it to the web page it will execute javascript as you would normally expect. You can then google for samples of how to obtain the resulting DOM/HTML. If you want to avoid displaying the WebBrowser you may be able to just instantiate it in code behind instead and, failing that, try just giving it a height and width of 0.
