Winforms Host Javascript Content

Post a Comment
Is it possible to host and run advanced javascript, such as this, directly on a WinForms application? To be ultra-clear, when I say, directly, I mean that I cannot use a web sever

Solution 1:

Can you use an embeded html file and load that into a browser control?

Sample HTML:

<!DOCTYPE HTMLPUBLIC"-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"><html><head><title></title><scripttype="text/javascript">alert("hello");
            </script></head><body>
        TESTING!
    </body></html>

I named this file alertTest.html. It's properties are:

Build Action:ContentCopy to Output Directory:CopyalwaysFileName:alertTest.html

Then C# form:

publicForm1()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    StreamReader reader = new StreamReader("alertTest.html");
    string html = reader.ReadToEnd();
    this.webBrowser1.DocumentText = html;
}

this will produce an alert box and the word TESTING! on the windows form.
