Web Browser control - how to navigate to a local file.

[timnels]

I have a web browser control that I'd like to point at a HTML file in
my installation directory. I am doing something like:

string path = Path.GetDirectoryName(
Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetModules()
[0].FullyQualifiedName) +
"\\howdoi.htm";
webBrowser1.Navigate(path);

What do I need to do to form the correct URI string for a local file?

Thanks.

Once you get the assembly for the executing assembly, you will want to
use the Location property on the assembly to get the directory that the
assembly is in.

Thanks but the path comes out as C:\....\howdo.ihtm which is the
correct file name, but the Navigate method displays page not found
type error. Let's say I wanted to navigate to a local file C:\temp
\text.html.... what would I pass to navigate ?

When you call navigate, it should take a file name just fine and
navigate to it. It it doesn't, then there is something else wrong (perhaps
the file name is wrong).

Try it with IE, maybe you should use file://c:\......

Sorry, the file name was so long I missed a character I had mistyped.
Sorry to bother you.
