Running functions between JavaScript and C#

If I wanted to run a JavaScript function from C# I can use window.execScript but..

How can I call a C# function from within JavaScript please?

e.g. 
<sc ript type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
control.runCsharpGet(this, "hello");
</script>

Hi Rabbit,

Please have a look at the http://www.add-in-express.com/support/addin-c-sharp.php#internet-explorer sample add-in project.

Thank you for your reply,

I can see the C# accessing the page and modifying the JS in the example, but I can't seem to see JavaScript directly calling/running any C# functions?

I have a C# function that saves a string it is passed in a text file, and another that gets the saved value from the text file, and I need to run these two C# functions from the JavaScript itself (for long term data storage).

I cant seem to find a command for this..

(I am working on a project without a toolbar or menu interaction).

Edit: I am hoping to test the add-on I have been developing on an IE6 and IE7 machine once I can get this issue resolved, but I still can't find any leads on how to run a C# function from within JavaScript.

Please can someone help me urgently, I am quite stuck at the moment.
