I assume you're not using the web browser control or something similar which would allow you to run javascript directly. The only other way I can think of would be to use the Windows Scripting Host to launch the script as a separate process and get it to write the result to the console or to a file which your program could then read. However this is complicated to do and synchronize. Frankly your best option would be to rewrite the validation routine in C#. The two languages are not that different (both use C-style syntax) and both support regular expressions if you're using those.
