Question

I have this piece of code:

WebBrowser wb = new WebBrowser();
wb.Navigate(URL);
HtmlDocument doc = wb.Document;

I should mention, that I have no WebBrowser Control on a form, it’s just in method in my class.
After this, wb.Document and doc as well are nulls.
Why is that? What do I have to do to obtain this document?

Answer 1

You should handle the DocumentCompleted event and access the document in your event handler when that fires.

Navigation and document loading is handled asynchronously – therefore the control hasn’t actually navigated or loaded anything when the Navigate method returns; hence why these are null.
