I have a WebBroswer control, and I set the HTML it will display via
DocumentText, which takes a a string. This shows the HTML code from
the string in the control. But, sometimes, the WebBrowser shows
nothing. Clicking 'view source' shows: "<HTML></HTML>", and the
filename is called "about_blan k[1].txt", which is the about:blank URL.
I am aware that when you set this property, the WebBrowser control
automatically navigates to the about:blank URL before loading the
specified text. And that means that the Navigating, Navigated, and
DocumentComplet ed events occur when you set this property.
So, for some reason, and only sometimes, the WebBrowser STAYS on
about:blank. Should I handle the events and do something with them to
kick this in the ass and move it forward to actually displaying the
content I am passing it?
Note that adding more HTML to the SAME string and then setting
DocumentText to this will then show the HTML. So, it's finnicky when
it works and doesn't (but, it is consistent on when it does and
doesn't work).

I guess I am not the only one who has noticed this. It's been
suggested that a "much more elegant and effective way of populating
web browser control with html is to use Write method of Document
object of WebBrowser control".
But, what if the Document object is null? What do I do then? How do
I get to the point of where I can call the Write method within it?

"If you fire up reflector and find the WebBrowser.Docu mentText
property you will see ... it will attempt to navigate to about :blank
as the documentation says. The code here indicates that the stream
data will be populated into the browser after it has navigated to
about :blank. The hitch here is that if the navigation fails, you are
none the wiser that the process has failed and the new document text
won't be loaded. My problem with the code here is that the try block
around the navigate swallows the exception, hence the document content
doesn't change and you won't know why."

I've cobbled together a script that should load a picture in a new,
automatically sized window. Because the image.height and image.width may be
0 if I test them right away, I use setTimeout to loop until they are both
not zero. I've run into two problems:
- In IE, the script doesn't seem to loop. If the picture isn't already
cached, nothing appears to happen; if it is in cache, the window (rather
slowly) opens up.

In .NET 2.0, how do I clear the contents of a web browser control?
I'm using a WebBrowser control in a Windows Form app to display strings
genrated by my application and formatted as HTML--I'm not using it to do any
actual web browsing.
I use 'webBrowser1.DocumentText = myText' to load an HTML string into the
control. But I can't clear that text when I want to load a new string into
the control.

The WebBrowser control won't load a css file written in the same
directory as the program. If I put an absolute path to it, it will
load it. Thus, the current directory of the WebBrowser control isn't
the current directory of the program. What is the current directory?
I don't want to use an absolute path, since its contents are saved to
disk, and that should always load the css file no matter where it and
the css file exists.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
