Display in HTML

[Hugh]

Hi all,

Is there anyway to use HTML as a means of displaying information in a
Windows form in C#, and then accessing data from within that HTML?

I'm currently working on a project which allows users to use an infrared
remote control to control Windows Media Player, and I'm wanting to display
information like Artist, Album Name etc in big fonts (probably a full screen
GUI) so that the user can read it from a distance, and select which tracks
they wish to play by scrolling through them. My problem however is finding a
control that allows this sort of functionality (listing files, in any style,
and allowing them to be selectable). I've tried using a listview etc, but it
doesn't really give me the freedom I'm after.

HTML wouldnbe great if I could use that, and perhaps use XML parser to
access the data. Is this possible? If not, can anyone suggest any other
ideas for this?

Any help greatly appreciated,
Cheers, Hugh

Thanks for your help,

I discovered the IE WebBrowser and looks like I'll be using that.

The IE WebBrowser control can be wrapped. You can place it on a Form. And you can get access to the various interfaces that would let you get data
back from the loaded HTML elements. However, this topic has been discussed quite a bit, and there are a number of third party wrapper components for
this type of thing. Check out dejanews and do a backsearch for more
information.
