Display HTML on a winform

Tags:

winforms

I'm developing a win-form application that needs sometime to show a "pop-up" form that displays a portion of a web page on internet (HTML). I'm getting the HTML of the page using a classic web request:

 var serviceRequest = new WebClient();
 var response = serviceRequest.DownloadString(new Uri("www.something.com"));

I have already tried to use the web browser control which works really well but as you know there are several issue using it as it is based on a COM object.(I cannot dynamically create another form that contains the web browser control without create a thread STA etc)

All I need is "container" where I can inject the HTML I want to display.

Any suggestions?

thanks a lot

You can user web browser control.It can inject all html code directly.

webBrowser1.DocumentText = "<html>hello <script>alert('hi');</script></html>";

Try to use built-in WebBrowser control.
