Hi,
I want to use the Webbrowser Control (the Internet Explorer Control) to
display an XML-structure within a C# WinForm.
The way the IE displays a XML-file in its native form is exactly what I need
(as tree structure with plus/minus).
This works great as long as I load the XML to display from a file with the
Navigate2-method of the control.
But my XML comes not from a file but is created dynamically during runtime.
When I feed the document-object of the IE-control with my generated XML,
unfortunately the IE control displays my XML as plain text and not in
XML-mode.
Does anyone know how to tell the IE with C# that the given string has to be
displayed as a XML document?
Any help appreciated,
Winston 7 2742
Winston,
There is an easy way, and a a few hard ways to do this. The easy way would be to save your XML to a temporary file and then navigate to that file.
The first hard way would be to define the IPersistMemory interface in your code. This is a COM interface that is part of the persistence framework that COM exposed. It allows you to load content from an area in memory. If you get this interface, then you can cast the HTML document to this interface and then call the Load method. Content type is determined by "sniffing" the content, as opposed to headers from a server.
The definitive way would be to create an implementation of the IMoniker interface and then control the information that is accessed by the HTML document when loading. With the implementation of IMoniker, you can control what the HTML document gets, so you can set the content type of the document to "text/xml" explicitly, which will trigger the display that you wish. For this, you would have to define the IMoniker and IPersistMoniker interfaces.
Hope this helps.

Alternatively transform the source xml using IE's default stylesheet and
then use your current method to display the result. Default stylesheet at:
res://msxml3.dll/DEFAULTSS.xsl

Hi Nicholas,
that sounds very good. I like to try the way with the IPersistMemory
interface but I don't know which reference I have to add in my project to
get access to that interface.
Can you help?

A quick and dirty way to do this is to temporarily persist your XML to
file, then load it from the file into your reader.
I do not know if there's a more elegant solution.
I solved it with your help and a little workaround.
Loading res://msxml3.dll/DEFAULTSS.xsl into my XMLDocument-Object didn't
work. I guess that those res:// files can only be read by the IE itself.
I found a slightly modified version of this Default-XSL at http://www.biglist.com/lists/xsl-lis.../msg00769.html.
After fixing some typing errors I saved it into a file.
Now I load that XSL from disk, and transform my XML-string with this XSL
into HTML.
When I feed this into the IE-control it looks like the way the IE does it.
Thanks for your help,
Winston

This transformation produces a display of non-well-formed xml in the
following two general cases:
1. The original xml document contains namespace declarations. In
this case
there are no namespace declarations displayed.
2. The original document contains (correctly) escaped ampersand. In
this case
unescaped ampersand is displayed.
The stylesheets used by the XPath Visualizer (for IE and for Mozilla)
do not have these flaws.
