We are using AxSHDocVw.AxWebBrowser extensively in our app, so using
another
browser component is not an option.
System.Net.WebClient is not a browser component. It just performs an HTTP
query to fetch the document and put the file wherever you want it. I use
AxSHDocVw.AxWebBrowser, too, but for situations similar to yours there is no
harm in using other components.
If the user is clicking on the a link to the odcument, use the
DownloadComplete event. If you're using .NET 2.0, try using the
System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser, which is a wrapper of
AxSHDocVw.AxWebBrowser, and then use the DocumentStream property after
DocumentComplete event finishes to read the stream out to a file, or look
for the DocumentStream equivalent in AxSHDocVw.AxWebBrowser.

Jon,

Application.DoEvents() doesn't work.
Thanks for the suggestions.

Otherwise, try performing an Application.DoEvents() loop until the
document's readyState is Complete. Not sure if that works or not.

>I am using the AxSHDocVw.AxWebBrowser control (named PreviewBrowser) in
my
C#
app to load a pdf file:
PreviewBrowser.Navigate(strPDF ,ref objNull,ref objNull,ref objNull,ref
objNull);
These PDF files are created and stored in a temp folder. The older
files
from temp need to be deleted everytime prior to calling the Navigate
function
for the current file.
But I am getting an exception when i try to delete the temp folder
(containing the older pdf files)
"The process cannot access the file "xxx.pdf" because it is being used
by
another process."
Is there any property/setting for the WebBrowser control to free up the
file??
