In my app I have a WebBrowser element.
I would like to load a local file in it.
I have some questions:
EDIT
I've added the HTML file to my project.
And I have set it up so that it gets copied to output folder.
When I check it it is present when run: \\bin\\Debug\\Documentation\\index.html
However when I do the following I get a 'Page cannot be displayed' error in the webbrowser element.
I use the following code to try to display the HTML file in the Webbrowser.
webBrowser1.Navigate(@".\Documentation\index.html");
Then you will be able to reference your files by using a path such as @".\\my_html.html"
Copy to Output Directory will put the file in the same folder as your binary dlls when the project is built. This works with any content file, even if its in a sub folder.
If you use a sub folder, that too will be copied in to the bin folder so your path would then be @".\\my_subfolder\\my_html.html"
In order to create a URI you can use locally (instead of served via the web), you'll need to use the file protocol, using the base directory of your binary - note: this will only work if you set the Copy to Ouptut Directory as above or the path will not be correct.
This is what you need:
string curDir = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory();
this.webBrowser1.Url = new Uri(String.Format("file:///{0}/my_html.html", curDir));
You'll have to change the variables and names of course.
quite late but it's the first hit i found from google
Instead of using the current directory or getting the assembly, just use the Application.ExecutablePath
property:
//using System.IO;
string applicationDirectory = Path.GetDirectoryName(Application.ExecutablePath);
string myFile = Path.Combine(applicationDirectory, "Sample.html");
webMain.Url = new Uri("file:///" + myFile);
Note that the file:///
scheme does not work on the compact framework, at least it doesn't with 5.0.
You will need to use the following:
string appDir = Path.GetDirectoryName(
Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().CodeBase);
webBrowser1.Url = new Uri(Path.Combine(appDir, @"Documentation\index.html"));
Like this:
var myAssembly = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetEntryAssembly();
var myAssemblyLocation = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(a.Location);
var myHtmlPath = Path.Combine(myAssemblyLocation, "my.html");
What worked for me was
<WebBrowser Source="pack://siteoforigin:,,,/StartPage.html" />
from here . I copied StartPage.html to the same output directory as the xaml-file and it loaded it from that relative path.
Windows 10 uwp
application.
Try this:
webview.Navigate(new Uri("ms-appx-web:///index.html"));
Update on @ghostJago answer above
for me it worked as the following lines in VS2017
string curDir = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory();
this.webBrowser1.Navigate(new Uri(String.Format("file:///{0}/my_html.html", curDir)));
I have been trying different answers from here, but managed to derive something working, here it is:
1- Added the page in a folder i created at project level named WebPagesHelper
2- To have the page printed by webBrowser Control,
string curDirectory = Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().CodeBase);
var uri = new Uri(curDirectory);
string myFile = Path.Combine(uri.AbsolutePath, @"WebPagesHelper\index.html");
Uri new_uri = new Uri(myFile);
i had to get the assembly path, create a first uri to get an absolute path without the 'file://' attached, next i combined this absolute path with a relative path to the page in its folder, then made another URI from the result.
Then pass this to webBrowser URL property webBrowser.URL = new_uri;
