In this article, I am going to show
how we can use WebBrowser control to show
html
document within our WPF application. WPF introduces
WebBrowser control to ensure that we can show html pages embedded inside
the control. Here I use 2 buttons also to go back and forward.
This is my XAML code
<Window
x:Class="WebBrowserControlIn_WPF.Window1"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="WebBrowser
Control in WPF" Height="Auto"
Width="Auto"
Loaded="Window_Loaded">
<Grid
x:Name="LayoutRoot"
Width="Auto">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition
Height="10"/>
<RowDefinition
Height="*"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition
Width="65"></ColumnDefinition>
<ColumnDefinition
Width="*"></ColumnDefinition>
<ColumnDefinition
Width="10"></ColumnDefinition>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid
HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
Margin="0,15,0,0"
Grid.Row="1"
Grid.Column="1"
VerticalAlignment="Stretch">
<WebBrowser
x:Name="myBrowser"
Margin="0,0,0,0"
Cursor="Arrow"
Height="Auto"/>
</Grid>
<Grid
HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
Margin="0,15,0,0"
Grid.Row="1"
Grid.Column="0"
VerticalAlignment="Stretch">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition
Height="40"/>
<RowDefinition
Height="40"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid
HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
Margin="0,15,0,0"
Grid.Row="0" VerticalAlignment="Stretch">
<Border
Height="20"
BorderThickness="2"
CornerRadius="5,5,0,0"
VerticalAlignment="Top"
/>
<Button
Click="GoBack_Click"
Width="50"
Height="20"
x:Name="GoBack">Go
Back</Button>
</Grid>
<Grid
HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
Margin="0,15,0,0"
Grid.Row="1" VerticalAlignment="Stretch">
<Button
Click="GoForward_Click"
Width="61"
Height="20"
x:Name="GoForward">Go
Forward</Button>
</Grid>
</Grid>
</Grid>
</Window>
This is my XAML.cs code

When we run the application then...
