Load in memory text into WebBrowser control

Question

On the .Net WebBrowser control the only way I can see to load a page to it is to set the URL property. But I would like to instead give it some HTML code that I already have in memory without writing it out to a file first. Is there any way to do this? Or are there any controls that will do this?

Answer 1

You want the DocumentText Property:

?

Answer 2

Also, generally, anywhere you can use a Stream, you can use MemoryStream to wrap data you have in memory.

Answer 3

You use either WebBrowser.DeocumentText (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.webbrowser.documenttext.aspx) or WebBrowser.DocumentStream (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.webbrowser.documentstream.aspx) to change the HTML in the current document. You might need to navigate to about:blank, if you don't have a document.

Answer 4

Hi, I had a problem with the webbrowser control. My scenario is as following. I am displaying my html content into a web browser control using document stream. I need to navigate with in the document stream (means navigating to "Top", "Bottom" of the web browser control etc..) means like intrapage hyperlinks in a html page. constraints: I must not create .html file. I must be able to navigate with in the web browser control

Need it urgently..
