Hi Friend, Here I have Written Code for What you want Just Enter A Path of Zip and It Will Interprets as HTML if there is HTML content in it . i have also included Project Files Link at bottom of post so that you can refer it if you don't understand from the code :) using System.IO; private void btnNavigate_Click( object sender, EventArgs e) { string URL = txtURL.Text.Trim(); string Extension = Path .GetExtension(URL); if (Extension == ".zip" | Extension == ".txt" ) { string Data = File .ReadAllText(URL); StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter ( "temp.html" ); sw.Write(Data); sw.Close(); string temppath = Environment .CurrentDirectory + @"	emp.html" ; webBrowser1.Navigate(temppath); } else { webBrowser1.Navigate(URL); } } Download Project Files
