Question

Uri currURI = new Uri(currentPageToLoad, UriKind.Relative);
ExtrasHTMLbrowser.Navigate(currURI);

The above code basically is grabbing a string (currentPageToLoad) and making a URI. Then my web browser, ExtrasHTMLbrowser, is trying to navigate to the URI. When currentPageToLoad is something like “author.html” it works perfectly, and navigates to the html page.

However, the problem I am having is that when the html file is in a folder such as HTML, it won’t navigate properly. So, when currentPageToLoad = “HTML/author.html” the phone will give me the generic 404 not found page.

Any Idea why it would matter if the file was in a folder, or am I trying to access the file incorrectly?

Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

Set the HTML file to build type Content.Then do this:

var rs = Application.GetResourceStream(new Uri("HTML/author.html", UriKind.Relative));
StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(rs.Stream);

This will read the entire HTML file as a string. You can then use the WebBrowser control’s NavigateToString method like this:

ExtrasHTMLbrowser.NavigateToString(sr.ReadToEnd());

If you have images/CSS you want to use, then you’ll have to use the above method to read the HTML file as a string and save it into Isolated Storage, alongside the images and CSS files (with matching directories).
