I am hosting an IE browser control in a simple, .NET winforms app. When I make the control navigate to certain content on disk, the control attempts to download the file (rather than displaying the content.) The exact same URL when pasted into the IE browser will properly display the swf file in question along with processed XML data that is passed as a parameter.
Abbreviated example of the URL:
file:///C:/...SomeSwfFile.swf?dataXML=%3C ... assume well-formed XML here
What can i do to get the browser control to behave just like the IE application with that type of URL?
Additional per feedback: HTML files are loaded into the control just fine.
The issue was that i was trying to host a Flash control inside a web browser control built on a x64 dev box. At this point in time Flash doesn't do well in 64 bit processes. When i set the app to build for x86 everything worked fine.

I basically just want to know if the webview control in C# and the desktop IE app are one and the same, can't find a suitable answer online:
If you set up an instance of a webview control in c#, and save a cookie from within that (i.e. by navigating it to a cookie creation page hosted by that domain, i.e. https://somesite.com/createcookie.php?oneTimeTokenToInitiateCookie=34o7rcw37gxw37-etc-etc-etc"), would this cookie be accessible as normal if you then start IE from the desktop? Or are the webview control and the desktop app completely separate instances of not necessarily the same thing?
WebView control and IE browser are two different things. The doc says:
This control uses the Microsoft Edge rendering engine (EdgeHTML) to embed a view that renders richly formatted HTML5 content from a remote web server, dynamically generated code, or content files.
WebView control uses EdgeHTML which is the Edge Legacy browser's rendering engine, so it has nothing related with IE.
As cookies are not shared between browsers, you can't access a cookie in IE which is set in a WebView control.
I'm making a Windows Form application that makes use of the browser tool. The browser does not connect to the internet and is only used to load local HTML content.
It's loading HTML CSS and JavaScript fine, but It cant seem to recognise jQuery. Is there a simple way for MVS to recognise jQuery as a script? All of the errors are related to it not understanding jQuery methods.
JQuery is supported form internet Explorer: 9+
when you use WebBrowserControl you get browser emulator ie 7,
change your regEdit key according with Use latest version of Internet Explorer in the webbrowser control
I'm developing a c# application that embeds the Webbrowser control. I create the Website dynamically and use NavigateToString() to display it. I'm on Windows 8 with IE10.
Now my Problem is: Javascript won't execute. For example I added a link that calls alert and another one that calls reset() on a form. Both do nothing. I believe it has to be some security issue because when I say the generated page and open the file manually in IE10 and click one of those links, I get a popup at the bottom that says "Internet Explorer restricted this Webpage from running scripts or ActiveX controls." and a "Allow blocked Content"-button. If I just Close the popup, nothing happens, if I click "Allow blocked Content" the JavaScript works fine.
How can I enable JavaScript in the embedded Webbrowser?
How are you accessing this local website? is it localhost? you need to make the url security friendly so it doesn't get blocked, give it a url http:// localhost:someport instead and it should work
I am developing a windows phone application in visual studio (Silverlight in C#) and I added a browser control to the application that i develop to show some random website.
Now i need to run a javascript along with that page in the browser control. How do i add the script to that. is there anyway to append the script directly when the html loads?
The script can be loaded from remote server or from the application itself. Its just to modify the pages a bit and display.
Instead of using the NavigateTo(URI) method of the WebBrowserControl directly with the URL, you can get the source of the HTML page as a string, modify it by injecting your javascript and use the NavigateToString(string html) method to display the content.
I'm writing a C# application that uses a System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser control to access a web application.
In this web application we use a program (Quick View Plus) that integrates with Internet Explorer to provide in-browser viewing for a number of document types not normally handled by Internet Explorer (WPD, DOC, XLS, PDF, etc.).
My understanding of the WebBrowser control is that it shares settings with the user's own copy of IE, however, I am seeing different behavior between the two:
When I open the web application in Internet Explorer, all desired file types are successfully opened using Quick View Plus.
When I open the web application in the WebBrowser control, only PDFs are loaded in Quick View Plus (showing, at least, that it can run inside a WebBrowser control) - however, other formats (for instance WPD, XLS, DOC) are not opened in Quick View Plus - instead the browser downloads them and automatically opens them with the default application.
Why could this behavior vary, and what steps should I take to try to get it to behave consistently?
If relevant, IE8 is in use.
