Use C# to trigger java script code inside an html page

Question

If I have an html page with all the scrips in it, how can feed this html to some sort of egine in .NET and use C# could to simulate user interaction with that page (like problematically presses a buttom or cause the web page to request a next page of a grid inside the html file) which would cause the page to to do whatever server interaction it would have done if it was inside the browser and get the C# engine to recieve the respose from the server?

Does such engine exist that could host html file and be sent events programtically? What does such approach called?

can you clarify if this is a business function you need to perform or is this in order to do automated testing on your html pages? — Bobby Borszich

There are a few pieces of software available to do what you want, but I don't know if they're controllable via C#. Why do you need to use C#?

The software I know of for doing this is ....

Selenium
Watin

or as Philipp Schmid suggested, you could write your own using a webbrowser control and searhing for controls, setting the text values of them and simulating click events.
