Open Local Html File In Browser And Jump To An Anchor?
Jul 28, 2010
I want to open a local html file in the user's default Web browser, and jump to an anchor within that file. In other words, I would like to have a result similar to clicking a link to localfile.html#my_anchor.
I've been using the System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(String) method to open html files, and this works fine. In the following example, I open a file named "info.html" in the "SomeInfo" subfolder of the folder containing the application:
Dim
ProcID As
Process

I know how to open local .msg files in webbrowser in html format.The problem is when the .msg has embedded pictures, the only thing that appears is a blank space ("picture not found") where it is supposed to be.If I open the .msg file in Outlook, I see the images correctly, but in my program I can't see embedded pictures.

I'm trying to open up an html file (with explorer) and navigate to a specific anchor location. The user should just see the file open up at the anchor's position. It's a local html document, not on the web, if that makes any difference. How can I do this in Visual Basic 2008?
So far I've been opening html files with Process.Start(filename) or Shell(filename, "explorer.exe", etc), but that doesn't seem to work with the additional html anchor tag (#anchorname) at the end of the file name. Also I've looked at webbrowser control, but as near I can tell that is more for editing html files.

I'm importing data from 1 database to another. I've been requested to strip all HTML content, as its messy and not valid, and just keep the links. I currently use the following VB.NET function to strip all HTML tags from a string of content:
Public Shared Function StripHTML(ByVal htmlString As String) As String
Dim pattern As String = "<(.|
)*?>"
Return Regex.Replace(htmlString, pattern, String.Empty)
End Function
I'm looking for a way of stripping all, but a (anchor) tags from the content. For example if I have the following HTML content:
<table><tr><td>
Lorem <a href="[URL]">Ipsum</a>
</td></tr></table>
This will simply become:
Lorem <a href="[URL]">Ipsum</a>
How can I do this?

I'm trying to get a local HTML file to display within a WebBrowser in a VB.NET program. I'm using the code below, however it doesn't seem to work, and I can't figure out why:[code]The first method produces the error "" in the Debug console when I go to run it. If I try it with out the @, I get an empty white page. If I change the address, however ,so I know its a broken URL, I get a 404 message, which makes it seem like it's finding the file but not rendering it?The second method does the same as the first except no error is produced, its like its finding the text but doing nothing.

I've noticed that when you click on a web page in Windows Explorer, or open a file in general, and the default application to open it is internet explorer, ie opens and opens the file. However, when I tried this on my Web Browser it opened, but ignored the file and went on its usual routine. How can I get my Web Browser to open and open the file that was clicked on in explorer?

atm i have this If TreeView1.SelectedNode.Name = 2 Then WebBrowser1.Url = My.Resources.Welcome End If
and it doesn't work so if you could please provide an example that world be grate.Also i don't really know how the treeview control works, i know with the combo box or listbox you just have an index of 0, 1, 2, 3 etc. but with the treeview you don't any just one of the things i want to do is whenever the root node is selected i want it to deselect that and select the node that i specify like node.name = 2.

But now I have a need to allow the user to choose a folder path without selecting a file. Basically a folder location, on the local hard drive where my code will read the files located in the choosen folder and process against them.
I am drawing a total blank and my web searches are not giving me what I am looking for.
I initially developed this with a Windows FolderDialogBrowser control, but it will not run on the web server, likely a security issue, and I can not change it.
Public Class FolderBrowserDialogExampleForm

We have an app that tracks .DOC and .PDF files (and possibly other file extensions). It stores copies of them on a network share. I want to give the ability to the user to allow them to click the file in a listview, for example, and have that file open in WORD or ADOBE or whatever program is associated with that file type.

I have a help file which is in html format and is displayed in a form containing a web browser. I initially want this to be copied to the output directory so that it will be there when the programme is installed and i can then use the file path of the output directory to display the help file.
Can anyone advise how i would do this, and also if when the user installs the program, they decide to change the default output directory how i would i get my application to know where the helpfile will be?

I know this shouldn't be as hard as I have found it to be, but I could use some help on a problem.

Basically a folder location, on the local hard drive where my code will read the files located in the choosen folder and process against them.

We're writing a Windows client application in VB.NET. On the first launch of the application it loads a local HTML file "User Guide" for the user to get acquainted with the new software. There is also a menu option to access the content which also produces the same error. Whenever the page is launched, a dialog box appears stating that "The system could not find the specified file.", and then the browser windows loads the content. This is IE8 specific, as we previously tested with IE6 and 7 as well as Firefox with no problems.
Apparently this behavior is also happening within Outlook 2007 for some of our users whenever they click a link in an email, but only on the first link they click. Also, one condition for the error to appear is that no IE8 window is currently running, otherwise another tab opens and loads the content just fine. We get this error on XP and Vista.

My situation is a little different. In my VB.NET project, I have imported (or created) a website that is contained in a folder named SAHelp. The idea is to have a local website installed to the user's computer so when they click help, the file C:[installation path]SAHelpindex.htm will open in their default browser.
I can certainly make this work by publishing a website to the real internet such as: System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("http://www.SomeDumbWebsite.com") which would act as my online help. But I want to bury this in my application.
Part 2: I'd like to detect if the user has an active internet connection:
If (User has Active Internet Connection) then
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("http://www.SomeDumbWebsite.com")
else

I use DocTools to Create a Compiled HTML Help File. I want to link to a specific topic in the help file from my program, but the filenames of the html files are generated randomly.
Is there any way to open a CHM to a specific topic by name?
I created a wrapper for DocTools, so I could have the command line piped to a text box and then I could obtain the Topics from there and save them in an INI file that I read when I call the help, but I don't know how to pipe the command line to a textbox.

I'm letting my users write their own HTML from my webpage. When they click the preview button, my code behind needs access to controls on the page (and so I understand I can't use a web method here). It builds the HTML and saves it as a file on the server. My question is: Once the file has been made, I want to automatically open the file in a new window for the user to see their handy work. I'm using vb.net, but happy to receive c# answers.
