In my vb.net program, I am using a webbrowser to show the user an HTML preview. I was previously hitting a server to grab the HTML, then returning on an asynchronous thread and raising an event to populate the WebBrowser.DocumentText with the HTML string I was returning.
Now I set it up to grab all of the information on the client, without ever having to hit the server, and I'm trying to raise the same event. I watch the code go through, and it has the HTML string correct and everything, but when I try to do
browser.DocumentText = _emailHTML
the contents of DocumentText remain as "<HTML></HTML>
"
I was just wondering why the DocumentText was not being set. Anyone have any suggestions?
Try the following:
browser.Navigate("about:blank"); HtmlDocument doc = browser.Document; doc.Write(String.Empty); browser.DocumentText = _emailHTML;
I've found that the WebBrowser
control usually needs to be initialized to about:blank
anyway. The same needs to be done between navigates to different types of content (like text/xml to text/html) because the renderer is different (mshtml for text/html, something else for text/xml).

I found the following and it worked!
webBrowser.Navigate("about:blank"); webBrowser.Document.OpenNew(false); webBrowser.Document.Write(html); webBrowser.Refresh();
