I've got a WebBrowser control in a C# Windows form. I build HTML on the fly
and then set it into the control using the DocumentText property of the
control. All of this works fine, except that part of the HTML that I
construct is an <A> element that links to a local file, something like this:
<A HREF="C:\Temp\S omeFile.htm" TARGET="_blank" >Test</A>
When I click on the link in the browser control, nothing happens.
After some experimentation , I've learned that if I share my Temp directory
and then use this HTML instead, it works:
<A HREF="\\MyMachi ne\Temp\SomeFil e.htm" TARGET="_blank" >Test</A>
Can anybody give me some insight into this - I'm stuck without having the
ability to link up to local files.
Thanks,

First, you shouldn't crosspost.
Next, in your <A>, try 'href="file://C:\Temp\SomeFil e.htm"'. The other link
works probably because it is being treated like a web-link with your
machine's server as the root. Again it's not correct. It shouldn't work. I
don't like it, but never mind. :)

Yes, I tried everything I could thing of to come up with different paths and
even prepending the "file://" onto the front didn't help.
Any other ideas?

Doubleclick on your inserted htm file to open it with IE (or whatever your
default browser is). Click on Test. Does a new instance of the browser
appear with SomeFile.htm or not? If yes, pay attention how you load the file
into the webcontrol. If no, check your html.

Hello All,
I'd like your comments on the code below. The sub does exactly what I want it to do but I don't feel that it is solid as all. It seems like I'm

This test sub just reads an input text file, writing out records to another text file, eliminating records that have a '99' in them (it is similar to

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
