Is there a way to dynamically interpret a string as javascript within a C# winforms program?
I've used ClearScript before to use JavaScript as a DSL in a tool. No issues at all. https://github.com/microsoft/ClearScript

Scripting languages that use host language's libraries?
The ClearScript library https://github.com/microsoft/ClearScript enables V8, JScript and VBScript to be used as extension languages for .NET languages. Our company uses it extensively and has done so with great success for years. Anything done in C# can be exposed to the scripting language and to some extent back the other way as well.

Head-up-Display Stream Deck Plugin
The Fullscreen Chromium (cefsharp) based Web-Browser ignores optionally user input like Mouse clicks, and is optionally always in the foreground (Force-Top-Most), so it can be used for any situation.

Why use AppDomains when we have processes?
Just as a background: I'm working on a façade for the CefSharp utility. This utility requires the programmer to initialize and terminate it in the same thread, once-per-process. My current implementation uses a lazy initialization algorithm requiring inter-thread communication. But the possibility of AppDomains arising or passing away complicates the algorithm by requiring threads to potentially signal one another across AppDomain boundaries. It would be easier to just let the threads communicate without worrying about which AppDomain they belonged to.

Is there a way to dynamically interpret a string as javascript within a C# winforms program?
I dont want to state the obvious but of course there is CefSharp .. But of course thats pretty heavy duty as you end shipping a headless version of Chrome in your app, but it can do anything a browser can do (of course it can, its Chrome), including exectuting a JavaScript string on the fly and getting a response. Because its Chrome you evenn have access the the dev tool and everything like that. But the other suggestions might be better suited as they might be more lightweight.

How do control a browser?
Two options: Either use an embedded browser you can control programmatically like CefSharp (https://cefsharp.github.io/) or spawn a real browser and use sendkeys() to control the browser by emulating user input.
