WPF WebBrowser (.NET 3.5 SP1)

One of the new controls is the WebBrowser... aha!! not the Winforms control.. we now have it in WPF.

Functions supported by this control are:

  • NavigateToString
  • NavigateToStream
  • Navigate
  • GoBack
  • GoForward

 In xaml it would look like something like this:

<StackPanel Name="panel">

  <WebBrowser Height="500"  >

  </WebBrowser>

</StackPanel>

 

 

 

I put together a simple sample which tries to use this functionality Looks like the above. Nothing fancy :)

Also since this is beta you might find a few rough edges (bugs) here and there.Please report them on the connect website or on the forums. 

Project Code: Attached

Ooh, nice. Yet another barrier to WPF adoption gone.

Any rumours on whether this control will be in Silverlight 2.0?

Damn, that was what I feared. I guess whatever bits of IE they are running under the covers are hard to unshackle from this mode of operation. I would be great if this stuff could get rendered into a WPF visual off-screen, so that it would render properly. I'd imagine that would make all the input interaction hard to do though.

on that note, I wonder how difficult it would be to make a compliant html rendering engine using wpf. I wonder if anyone has started this project?

Can you set the http user-agent?

Can you pass in an object for scripting so that javascript can call functions on it via windows.external?

Hallo

That’s really cool but for us without SP1 we must still use the frame. Is it possible to load HTML into a document viewer or some other control that allow you to zoom the content?

.NET 3.5 SP1 中新增了一个新的 WebBrowser 控件用于 WPF 应用中。以后在 WPF 程序中就不要用以前的 WinForm WebBrowser 了，直接在XAML中写&lt;WebBrowser&gt;标签即可。
