I understand in previous versions of VB the webbrowser object had a beforenavigate2 event that provided access to the postdata of the webbrowser. I've searched and searched and I think that event was disabled for visual studio 2010.
View 2 RepliesIn Visual Basic 6.0, i used to get PostData and Headers in the BeforeNavigate2 event handler function. But when i upgrade to Visual Studio 2005, i got it upgraded to Navigating event handler and there is no PostData and Headers in the handler function. How to access PostData and Headers value in the Navigating function.

I have a program which opens up a webpage through a WebBrowser object in c#, and does a bunch of operations with it. Now I need to integrate this functionality into my own webpage.
That means that either I need to take the c# code, and somehow make it work in my webpage itself (put in a WebBrowser object, set up event handlers, etc), or I need to somehow have my webpage open this program on my server, fire an event to start, and receive input from it. It is very important for me to use a WebBrowser object (or even WebKit.Net) because there is a lot of javascript, etc on the page that needs to be processed.
I am trying to fill form located here [URL] using web browser control in MS Visual Basic 2008.

View 3 RepliesIs there a collection or property somewhere to determine the certificate properties that is in used with the current browser?
If I right-click on the browser object on the VB form, I can see the properties and see the certificates, etc. But is there a way to programatically get to that point? Not seeing anything clearly marked. Not sure if it isn't exposed or if I'm just not seeing it.
So I am currently using the method of combining a timer with a WebBrowser control to constantly check if some particular text has appeared in the WebBrowser control on my form. The text is dynamically generated after some arbitrary amount of time depending on the user's internet connection speed. (I'm using DOM to do this). The code to check for the HtmlElements lies within a function, which is turned called by the timer.
I find that this is kind of crappy and occasionally lags the UI interface, if not making the entire program behave sluggishly. I have been thinking of just using a simple while loop in a worker thread to take care of the issue, but I understand that new threads cannot interact with the UI thread directly (including controls); they have to call wrappers that are present within the UI thread.
So my question is, can you declare a WebBrowser control and still interact with its HTMLDocument properties if you declare it within a worker thread? I don't want the while loop to be executed within the UI thread (by using a wrapper), since that would defeat the purpose. I would also like to avoid DoEvents() as much as possible...unless that's the only way to do this thing?
I'm trying to create a windows service that loads a website, navigates it, and pulls some information using javascript. This is all very easy to do in a windows forms application, but isn't working in a webservice (apparently because services can't access the registry WinInet Not Supported for Use in Services). Any ideas how to get it to work? Here's my code that outputs nothing:

I need to trigger the onmousedown property of a table contained on a web page presented in the WebBrowser control of my form.The site is a nested frames mess, but in this particular frame the tables are basically used to create large, context buttons. In other words, you click the table and are navigated to a subform.[code]At first I thought this might be handled by using InvokeMember("click"), but that has no effect. If I try InvokeMember ("onmousedown") I receive a javascript error on the page. Can anyone tell me if/how one invokes the onmousedown property of an object inside of the WebBrowser control?

will fail with more than one instance of the WebBrowser control.what actually happen is that mycontrol object become Mycontrol and compiled vb.net application will fail with error
Member not found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80020003 (DISP_E_MEMBERNOTFOUND))
at Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices.LateBinding.LateGet(Object o, Type objType,

I have a VB.Net Windows Forms application that incorporates the WebBrowser object.I want to place the input focus/cursor in a textbox after successfully loading a PDF document in the WebBrowser via the Navigate method.I tried to set the focus (TextBox1.Focus) in the DocumentCompleted event handler, but that failed.Or, I should say that the focus does not stay in the textbox.It appears that all processing initiated by the Navigate method is not complete even when the DocumentCompleted event is fired.And, as a result, the input focus is being moved from the textbox for some reason.
I now set the input focus in the ProgressChanged event handler when the CurrentProgress and MaximumProgress event agruments both have values of zero.This is successful, but I want to be sure that I can rely on the values of the event arguments.After I use the Navigate method, the ProgressChanged event is fired 4 times with the following CurrentProgress and MaximumProgress event argument values: 0 of 10000, 10000 of 10000, 10000 of 10000 (again), and finally 0 of 0.Can I confidently rely on a ProgressChanged event at the absolute end of a successful WebBrowser navigation that has CurrentProgress and MaximumProgress both set to 0?

I am grabbing an HTMLElement from a browser object and then using getElementById to grab the element I want. When the element is grabbed into the HtmlElement object double quotes around attributes like <input type="checkbox" name="test1" /> becomes <input type=checkbox name=test1>.It is removing the double quotes and backslash from the HTML available in the HtmlElement.

How do I make my program catch the submit, process it and spit out the new info out to the webbrowser item in vb2005 winform?
Essentially what I want to do is copy a WebBrowser object such that I can do the equivalent of "Open In New Tab" or "Open In New Window" actions, maintaining any posted data. I don't just want to navigate to the same URL as in the original WebBrowser object, rather I want to repeat the HttpWebRequest.

For example, internet explorer object is easier to debug because when the application is in debug mode, internet explorer object is still interactive with client. Also we can clear cookies and resstart with internet explorer object. We can do ie.quit, then set ie=new internetexplorer then ie.visible=true
In vb.net internet explorer object becomes webbrowser control and I have no way to do that? How can I delete cookies and then restart webbrowser control? How can I tell webbrowser control to "quit" or destroy it self? That sort of thing.

View 5 RepliesI am somewhat new to object oriented programming and am attempting to flatten a Linq object hierarchy by using a shim class.how to initalize a derived class with property values from a base class?I have two objects, a base object with about 100 properties, and a derived object which inherits from the base object and adds a few additional properties beyond those of the base object. My simple constructor creates the derived object, but I am looking for a way to initialize the derived object properties with values from the base object.Right now I am using reflection to iterate over the properties individually and I suspect there may be a better way. The following example shows my shim class constructor for the derived class, and two properties:
newProperty1 - a new string property of the derived class
flattenedProperty2 - a new string property of the derived class, copied from a 2nd-level object of the base class
Code example:
Public Class derivedObj
Inherits baseObj
Private _newProperty1 As String[code].......
Is this the correct constructor approach to flatten the object hierarchy using a shim class? My second question relates to initialization of properties in the derived class. The constructor above creates the derived object, but what is the best way to initialize the derived object properties with values from the base object? The following code uses reflection to iterate over the properties individually, but I suspect there may be a better way.
Code example:
' property names are in the string array fieldNames
'baseObjQuery is an ienumerable of baseObj
'derivedObjList is a list of derivedObj[code].....
Is there a simple way to initialize values for the properties in the derived object based upon the values of the common properties in the base object?

I am writing a few web based apps which will require a webbrowser extension. I have already used the IE webbrowser control that uses the trident web rendering engine. I believe this is MSHTML.DLL? Anyway, some of the users of my programs have complained of a few things. Particularily,
1. It seems to be a slow browser, at least compared to other rendering engines out there (webkit and gecko are 2 known ones).
2. On the developer side, it seems to be low in features. The features are sufficient in most cases, but there are some "special" things that I need.
3. It has VERY low HTML (and especially HTML5) compliance.
My question is, how much work would it take to use a different engine (such as webkit .net, which I HAVE heard of) and be able to distribute it easily. Or, if you guys feel ambitious, we could try writing a brand new engine ourselves. I know how big of a job it is, and frankly, I have no clue where to begin. I would just like your thoughts and opinions on the matter.
