I’m having a problem with WebBrowser control in WP7. Can anyone explain to me

  • 0

I’m having a problem with WebBrowser control in WP7. Can anyone explain to me why does example 1 works and example 2 doesn’t?

Example 1:

XAML

<Grid x:Name="grForWebBrowser">
    <phone:WebBrowser Name="wb"/>
</Grid>

CodeBehind

const string html = "<html><h2>TEST</h2></html >";
wb.NavigateToString(html);

Example 2:

XAML

<StackPanel x:Name="spForWebBrowser"/>

CodeBehind

WebBrowser wb = new WebBrowser();
const string html = "<html><h2>TEST</h2></html>";
wb.NavigateToString(html);
spForWebBrowser.Children.Add(wb);

Thank you for any advice.

    Your code does work. You just haven’t set the width and height properties of the webBroswer so it is defaulting to 0 x 0

    WebBrowser wb = new WebBrowser();
string html = "<html><h2>TEST</h2></html>";
wb.NavigateToString(html);
wb.Height = 150.0;
wb.Width=440.0;
spForWebBrowser.Children.Add(wb);
// or 
grForWebBrowser.Children.Add(wb);

    You could also control the size of the WebBrowser using Margins, but for the sake of explanation I explicitly set it’s dimensions.
