wardrobeandrew Posted September 11, 2003 Posted September 11, 2003 does anyone know of a good web browser control? Quote
*Experts* Volte Posted September 11, 2003 *Experts* Posted September 11, 2003 The Microsoft Web Browser Control is the IE engine, though it's COM so you need interop. Look in your 'Customize Toolbox' window under the COM tab for the "Microsoft Web Browser" control. Quote
*Gurus* divil Posted September 12, 2003 *Gurus* Posted September 12, 2003 The next version of the framework will include a managed web browser wrapper, complete with managed DOM.

wardrobeandrew Posted September 12, 2003 Author Posted September 12, 2003 looks like i'll have to make one in the mean time Quote
*Experts* Volte Posted September 12, 2003 *Experts* Posted September 12, 2003 Good luck....it'll take months of hard work to create a web browser engine. I'd just use the COM one for now. Quote
AlexCode Posted September 12, 2003 Posted September 12, 2003 I'vr the same opinion... use the COM Web Browser ... it works real good, and the interop is really fast and stable nao ... Use it ! ;) Quote Software bugs are impossible to detect by anybody except the end user.
*Gurus* divil Posted September 12, 2003 *Gurus* Posted September 12, 2003 Getting a stable browser working is a matter of hosting mshtml. Doing so is a lot more lightweight than using the WebBrowser ActiveX control.

AlexCode Posted September 12, 2003 Posted September 12, 2003 Really cool stuff... but... It doesn't seem to display a *.html file with pictures and all stuff. I'm saying this because I recently wrote a app that can read *.eml files from the Exange users folder and associate the *.eml documents with the company client files and had no other way to display both plain text and html emali files than with COM web browser interop and it works just fine for me... no probles and no restrictions!

AndreRyan Posted September 14, 2003 Posted September 14, 2003 I don't know if everyone has this since I'm using an Academic version of VS.Net 2002 but there is C:\Program Files\Microsoft.NET\Primary Interop Assemblies\Microsoft.mshtml.dll which wraps Microsoft Internet Explorer Quote .Net allows software to be written for any version of Windows and not break like Unmanaged applications unless using Unmanaged procedures like APIs. If your program uses large amounts of memory but releases it when something else needs it, then what's the problem?
