Question

I’m testing the WebView as a RichTextEditor.
I’ve noticed there are 3 methods to load data into it, so I googled to find out which are the differences between them, but find no clear answer.
Could someone please give me some insight about that?

Am I right supposing it’s best to use loadHtmlString for local content and loadRequest for web content?

Thanks for your support!

Answer 1

There are three recipes in the MonoTouch docs (see bottom of page) that pretty clearly illustrate the three methods.

• LoadData() – load non-HTML data, can specify MIME type
• LoadRequest() – load content using async HTTP request
• LoadHTMLData() – load an HTML string
