How to get a title of a page displayed in webbrowser control in c# ?

[Jon86]

Hi All ,
Any one please help me in getting a title of a page displayed in webbrowser control in c# .The title needs to be displayed in lable in a windows form which has this webcontrol intit.I tried with HTMLTitleElementClass but it's not returning anything.
Then I tried with DocumentTitle property which should display the title of the document currently displayed in the WebBrowser control. But Hard luck ... This also failed.

Any Help in this is appreciated.

Cheers,
Jon

Are you sure the document HAS a title?

Are you using an ASP.Net Front end or an empty Web Site?


btw Plater and Alias this forum would be lost without you both. Plus I like seeing the preformatted MODERATOR messages.

Yes of course the page is having a title .... It's not showing title for any sites/page.

Weird. I just ran it and it gave me the title just fine.
You are waiting until the Navigated event has fired before looking for a title right?

Here's what I just tried.

private bool cango = false;
private string GetTitle(string url)
{
   string retval = "";
   cango = false;
   myWebBrowser.Navigate(url);
   while (!cango)
   {
      Application.DoEvents();
   }
   cango = false;
   retval = myWebBrowser.Document.Title;
   return retval;
}
 
void wb_Navigated(object sender, WebBrowserNavigatedEventArgs e)
{
   cango = true;
}
 

Now since you're actually using the webpage, I would just do this:

void wb_Navigated(object sender, WebBrowserNavigatedEventArgs e)
{
   myLabel.Text=myWebBrowser.Document.Title;
}

namespace testwinform
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }
 
        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            string url=textBox1.Text;
            GetTitle(url);
 
 
        }
 
        private bool cango = false;
        private string GetTitle(string url)
        {
            string retval = "";
            cango = false;
            webBrowser1.Navigate(url);
            while (!cango)
            {
                Application.DoEvents();
            }
            cango = false;
            retval = webBrowser1.Document.Title;
            return retval;
        }
 
        void wb_Navigated(object sender, WebBrowserNavigatedEventArgs e)

Did you remember to attach that wb_navigated handler function to the navigated event on your webbrowser control?
