Some controls don't work in BlazorWebView on Windows

[epetersoni]

🐛 Bug Report

Controls such as the table don't work within a Windows BlazorWebView control.

💻 Repro or Code Sample

Follow these steps to set up a Blazor Hybrid WPF app using a BlazorWebView.
Setup the required references to use Nimble with Blazor.
Add a NimbleTable to the Counter.razor file created during the previous steps.

🤔 Expected Behavior

When running the app, the NimbleTable should render.

😯 Current Behavior

The app crashes when rendering the NimbleTable because the setData JS function is not found.

💁 Possible Solution

Nimble uses JavaScript Initializers to do some set up for Blazor. Based on this aspnetcore issue those files currently do not even get loaded by the BlazorWebView.

The initializer is where functions like setData get registered, so this explains why the JS function that the table needs is not found.

This fluentui-blazor issue indicates that FAST or FluentUI controls also may use initializers, so there are likely to be other issues with controls in a BlazorWebView.

🔦 Context

We'd like to be able to use Nimble controls within existing .NET 6-based Desktop apps.

🌍 Your Environment
