Unfortunately, the ReportEngine SDK that you would use to display Webi reports is no longer available for .NET (it was available in 3.1 and earlier but has been mostly replaced by the RESTful web services.)

There is a Java version of the ReportEngine SDK, but I'm not entirely sure that it has a non-web viewer available.  A work-around for this might be to open the report and export it to PDF or Excel and use those tools to view it.  However, you will lose things like drill-down functionality if you do that.

Design Studio dashboard/visualization are expressed as HTML, so you would need to have an HTML viewer available in your application in order to consume them.
