You can execute methods in your windows app by doing the following: First add permission, so add this above public class Form1 : Form

[PermissionSet(SecurityAction.Demand, Name="FullTrust")]
[System.Runtime.InteropServices.ComVisibleAttribute(true)]

Second you need to register your webbrowser control to have access to call your form functions, so add this to the Form_Load event

this.WebBrowser1.ObjectForScripting = this;

Then you can create a Sub in your Main form. The sub MUST be Public.

public void doOpenForm()
{
    //your code to open the form here
}

And in your HTML, do this:

<a href='' onclick='window.external.doOpenForm()'> click to show another win form</a>
