Rendering HTML inside Windows Forms

[Jay]

Hi all,

May i know if there is any way by which we can render a
given HTML inside .NET Windows Forms?

We had the Web Browser controls in Visual Studio 6. Is
there a follow-up of that in VS.NET?

Most recently, HTML rendered dialog boxes seemms to be in
vogue. Can anyone please help?

Thanks so much in advance,
Jay

Why not launch IE? Isn't one of the new thingies in .NET the ability to
easily launch IE?

Yes, you will need to host the ActiveX based MS IE WebBrowser control
inside your WinForm - works okay, but it's a bit klunky at times....

These are the steps necessary:

1. Use the AxImp utility to create the .Net wrappers for the
ShDocVw.dll:

aximp c:\winnt\system32\shdocvw.dll

AxImp is a utility contained in the .NET SDK, and would be installed
in "C:\Program Files\Microsoft.NET\SDK\v1.1\Bin" (if you've installed
the SDK - if not, install it).

2. Place the two output files (shdocvw.dll and AxShDocVw.DLL) in the
folder where your .Net assemblies are located.

3. You can now add the "Microsoft WebBrowser" as a control to your
toolbox by browsing for the COM component in
c:\winnt\system32\shdocvw.dll

I myself would *never* use HTML to display a dialog box - use the IE
web control when you need to display a HTML file - but that's about
all I'd do.

You might want to look at the HtmlEditor as an alternative to the webbrowser
control:
