WebBrowser Control

S4E

Folks, have you any success in using this control? I followed the sort of steps outlined on the link: http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/Internet/WebBrowserInCSMDB.asp The problem is I only ever get a white area on my form, I never see the webpage I've directed the control to usin the Navigate method. My form project is in c# and I didnt put any of the toolbar buttons etc on, just the webbrowser control only, and then added the code to populate it with a webpage in the form_load method. Am I missing something?

Hello Sarjoo, the use of this control with all it's flaws was the starting point for developing the software you might want to look at if you are into developing customized browser applications or any application that uses web technology. Parts of this control are used by the software BrowserBob (available as Freeware version). The program let's you create anything you could create using this control, just without programming, as the job has already been done - it's fully visual and let's you integrate your own scipts etc... Maybe you give it a try: www.browserbob.com Kind regards! Please tell me if this helps you out... Markus
