You would have to host your webpage content in a control that can render HTML.

So you want to use standard HTML files as the UI for a Windows Form app? Why? Just host the site on a server and that way it will be accessible from almost any place.

Actually It was win form application but GUI design got implemented in HTML. So I want to load those HTML pages as my GUI

Thanks but the UI design in winform is difficult to design like in HTML for me so please provide some other solution

There is not another solution. UI design for Win Form and Web are very different as you have found out. You cannot intermingle the two just by copy and paste.

From you comment your comment it sounds like you have a Win Form app with all your business logic, db logic, etc. already coded and then someone did the UI design in HTML. So now you want to use the HTML as the UI for the app.

If only expect the Win Form app to display the HTML then you can possibly use the WebBrowser control. But if you expect to do any kind of data entry or processing with you Win Form app code you are out of luck. The HTML cannot access any part of your code.

You are better off creating a Win Form UI or if you have to use a web app create a new one and use the HTML as your guide for style.
