Looks like the same question as this: [integrate paraview exe in a dockable window using api in c# - #5 by may\_soun](https://discourse.paraview.org/t/integrate-paraview-exe-in-a-dockable-window-using-api-in-c/13109/5)

no need for duplicated question. As I said before, you can use C++ to create a custom app, other than that, I dont know what can be done directly with C#.
