I want to call a JavaScript function through C#, using a WinForm's WebBrowser control. I've attempted to search however could not find anything which answers my question, only solutions which involved ASP.NET.

Thank you in advance.

Edit:

This is the only question regarding this that I've found that actually has an answer that demonstrates how to call a JavaScript method with parameters, and also shows how to call a .NET function from JavaScript in the WebBrowser control.

I do not think this question should be marked as a duplicate as it adds good value. It's the first hit on a google search for "c# webbrowser call javascript function with parameters".
