WebBrowser ReadyState not working.

while (webBrowser1.ReadyState != WebBrowserReadyState.Complete || webBrowser1.IsBusy)

{

Application.DoEvents();

}

At somepages this pease og code returns even if the page has not finished loading. My guess it has something todo withpages waiting for javascripts. Is there a way to ensure that there is no more navigating?

On forehand thx.

DocumentCompleted should only be raised once when it really is completed.Navigating event will be fired for every frame though. Do you have an example ofa site that gives multiple DocumentCompleted events?

WebBrowser wb = new WebBrowser();
wb.DocumentCompleted += new WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventHandler(DocumentCompletedHandler);
wb.Navigate("http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn");

private void DocumentCompletedHandler(object sender, WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventArgs e)
{
//Done!
}

The proper way would be to handle the DocumentCompleted event instead of looping for the proper state.

Hi Thx for your reply. Can you show a code snippet? When do you know its the last Document_Completed? Most sites raises 5-10 document completed.

On forehand thx.

Hi and thx for your reply,

DocumentCompleted will be fired after every redirection. Check http://www.flybillet.dk. So this solution is not that good. But thanks anyway.

Best regards

Hi there.

How would you explain the fact that when DocumentComplete is raised, even if I have a full Microsoft news email page loaded into my WebBrowser, webbrowser1.DocumentText is only "<HTML></HTML>" ??

(I load the HTML contents from a localMHT file)

This was driving me crazy.

I was trying to post data like this:

Code Snippet

WebBrowser browser = new WebBrowser();

browser.DocumentCompleted +=new WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventHandler(handler);
