Question

First at all – I don’t know if “render” is the right word. I like to get information from an website. At the moment therefore I use the WebBbrowser control.
Now I like to use HttpWebRequests because I think, that’s much faster and threading could be used more easily. But I can’t use them, because the HTML-output string I receive from HttpWebRequest has got a lot of JavaScript inside from which the information, that I need, will be created.
The web browser “renders” the JavaScript to readable HTML. How to do this step “by hand”, so that I can use HttpWebRequests?

I hope you understand, what I want.

I solved my problem with a project called Awesomium. In this thread you will find all you need to get html with executed javascript. The “special part” is this one:

var sourceVal = webView.ExecuteJavascriptWithResult( "document.getElementsByTagName('html')[0].outerHTML;" );

if ( sourceVal != null )
{
    using ( sourceVal )
    {
        html = sourceVal.ToString();
    }
}
