Activate WebBrowser

[dave starkey]

Dear All,
I have dropped a WebBrowser control onto my form but It will not display the webpage I have set the code to navigate to. Snippet is - APBrowsePage.Navigate("http://www.microsoft.com"); .
Where APBrowsePage is the control name.

webBrowser1.Url = new Uri("http://microsoft.com");

Zip your project and upload it. You can do this by clicking "Go Advanced" next to "Post Quick Reply", and in the next screen click on manage attachments.

Ramy,
I have already tried to convert the URL to URI but that doesnt work either. Scott - The project should be attached - not sure what you needed so I put everything in.

Thanks
Dave

It works I tried it :|
Please tell me what's the compilation error...

Ramy,
Theres no error - the control is just blank when I run the exe. Does the line of code need to defined in a particular event that I am not yet handling?

Dave

Yes, you can but it inside button click event handler or set it from control properties
Uri = http://microsoft.com
Believe me it works :)

Oops, I uploaded the wrong files in the last post. Here is the one with the Browser object.

In the project you uploaded the only thing I see for the browser is:

void WebBrowser1DocumentCompleted(object sender, WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventArgs e)
		{
			webBrowser1.Url = new Uri("http://microsoft.com");
		}

That is in the document complete event but I don't see anywhere that initially tell the navigator to browse. You should not be changing the browser's URL in the complete event because when it finishes loading a page it will call that event, triggering another page load, and it will loop.

I made these changes and it works:

void BrowseFaultyAPClk(object sender, EventArgs e)
		{
      webBrowser1.Navigate(@"http://www.google.com"); 
			/*
      string FaultyAPAddr = "http://" + FaultyAPIPOct1Num.Value + "."
											+ FaultyAPIPOct2Num.Value + "."
											+ FaultyAPIPOct3Num.Value + "."
											+ FaultyAPIPOct4Num.Value + ".";
			Process ProcessIeFaultyAP = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
			ProcessIeFaultyAP.StartInfo.FileName = "iexplore.exe";
			ProcessIeFaultyAP.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = @"C:\WINDOWS\ie7";
			ProcessIeFaultyAP.StartInfo.Arguments = String.Format(FaultyAPAddr);
			ProcessIeFaultyAP.Start();
       */ 
		}
		
		void WebBrowser1DocumentCompleted(object sender, WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventArgs e)
		{
			//webBrowser1.Url = new Uri("http://microsoft.com");
		}

Dear All,
Thanks for your help - I've now got it working. I had been using the DocumentCompleted event because this was automatically created when I double clicked on the object.
