In my recent blog, AxShDocVw, SHDocVw, mshtml References, I showed how to set up a VS.NET project to use the AxSHDocVw.AxWebBrowser control.
I was recently asked how to display formatted XML in this control. Here's just one way. I'm sure you can find ways to improve upon it.
private void DisplayXml (
AxSHDocVw.AxWebBrowser browser,
XmlDocument document)
{
// generate a unique file name
string filnam = Environment.GetFolderPath(
Environment.SpecialFolder.InternetCache)
+ "\\" + document.GetHashCode().ToString();
// clean up just incase
if (File.Exists(filnam))
File.Delete(filnam);
// write wsdl to a temporary file
StreamWriter file = File.CreateText(filnam);
string text = document.OuterXml.Replace("utf-16","utf-8");
file.Write(text);
file.Close();
file = null;
// navigate to the temporary file
object refmissing = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;
browser.Navigate(filnam, ref refmissing,
ref refmissing, ref refmissing, ref refmissing);
}
This can be used when the control has not yet been initialized and does not yet have a body or DOM.
