Make WebBrowser control use linked stylesheet in DocumentText

Answer 1

A:

You can use inline style as..

<html>
   <head>
       <style>
           // all my style here
       </style>
   </head>
<body>
..
..
</body>
</html>

Answer 2

A:

If by put it in your project folder, do you mean your bin folder, or the folder with the .sln file in it? If it's the latter, you have to put it in the same folder as your executable (e.g. bin/Debug/PF.css, bin/Release/PF.css, etc).

Alternatively, you can embed it in the HTML using a <style type="text/css"></style>, and replace the comment with your CSS. If you don't want to hardcode it in where ever you get some_text from, you can dynamically replace it by loading PF.css:

using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader("PF.css"))
{
    some_text = String.Format(some_text, sr.ReadToEnd());
}

That example assumes some_text contains the following:

<style type="text/css">
    {0}
</style>

I originally put it with the .cs filesI tried putting PF.css in bin/Debug and it still doesn't workthe inline css isn't an option

See my edits. By the way, you would put `PF.css` in the `bin/Debug` folder if you're using the Debug configuration, if you're using Release, it would be in `bin/Release`, etc.

I'm in debug mode, stepping through the code.PF.css is in bin/Debug, doesn't work.I've tried your streamreader example, but it doesn't work, same plain textI'm wondering if .DomumentText is the correct way to add css...

Answer 3

+1 A:

mshtml.HTMLDocument CurrentDocument = (mshtml.HTMLDocument)webBrowser1.Document.DomDocument;
 mshtml.IHTMLStyleSheet styleSheet = CurrentDocument.createStyleSheet("", 0);
 StreamReader streamReader = new StreamReader(@"C:\PF.css");
 string text = streamReader.ReadToEnd();
 streamReader.Close();
 styleSheet.cssText = text;

kind of a krapy way to do it, but everything I read seems to point to the webbrowser control can't do css unless you Navigate to a file/url and it's included in there. BTW you have to add a ref to Microsoft.mshtml.

Maybe future versions of this control could handle linked stylesheets...
