Hi i am using webbrowser control under windows forms. When i navigate to the secure website eg. https://abc.com it shows "Navigation to the webpage was cancelled"

Navigation to the normal page works fine. But not to the https..

Even though i have the cerficate imported to my internetexplorer, when i navigate to site, itdoesnt ask me to sign/verify that cerficate.
please help!!

Hi prad9,

Sorry for the late relpy. You can change the target platform of the project to x86. The WebBrowser control's underlying is a ActiveX control which would not work normally when we target the project to Any CPU or x64.

Let me know if this does not help.

Hi Aland Li,

I am working on x86 machine with windows XP operating system. Not sure what to do?

Hi prad9,

Thanks for your reply and provide more information about your machine. What I mean is change the target platform of the project. The thread below shows how to do that, please pay attention to JohnWein's reply.

Since your machineis of type x86, it is mostly of no use. You said: i have the cerficate imported to my internetexplorer, when i navigate to site, itdoesnt ask me to sign/verify that cerficate. Did you meet the same error when you had done this? Do you try to open the website via the WebBrowser directly? Could you let me know the version of the Internet Explorer?

Regards,
Aland Li

Hi prad9,

Could you check the items below and let me know the answers:
1. Open the web site via other type of web browsers.
2. Open the web site on other'smachines.

Based on my test results, I cannot open it via IE or firefox. So we need to check the web site. We need to know if the issue is caused by the browser of the web site. By the way, I have visited some sites to buy a book and the sites are also of type https, it works fine.

Let me know if this helps or not.

Hi Aland,

I could able to view the website in the internet explorer 8(It asks me choose the certificate that was installed inthe explorer), then when i selected the cerficate and said ok, It displays the page fine.This behavious is not happenning in the Chorme and Firefox 3.5. Both of them gives error Page Cannot be Displayed.

When i am using the same website inthe web Browser control it doesnt ask me to choose the cerficate that was installed in the explorer and shows me the error Navigate to webpage was cancelled.

Here are my detail system details:

Windows Professional XP SP3, x86 bit version

Internet Exploper 8

Working on .Net Framework 2.0

sample website that i am woking: https://www.bestpractice.org.nz/newlook.asp?PMS=MyPractice&nhi=BCA2115&pd_dob=19780101&pd_gms=A1&pd_name_family=Simpson&pd_name_first=Tom&pd_ethnicity=12&pd_gender=Male&pd_address1=&pd_address2=&pd_address3=

if you click on this link it ask you to choose the cerficate. if selected, directs you to site.

Not sure why this is not working on x86 based machines. I have tried pointing target CPU to any cpu and x86 still no luck.
