Getting Error Using a Web Browser Control in a WinForms Application

Question

I am trying to use the webbrowser control in a winforms application. In my application, when I try to navigate to places that work fine in IE or Chrome, I get a "Script Error" window that says that "an error occurred in the script on this page." with "Error: the object does not support this property or method." However, I can still use IE to go to the page without problems.

What am I missing?

A script error is less important to me than the fact that it behaves differently in my application than in a web browser. My question is this:

Is it possible to embed a web browser in an application. Net that will behave exactly like a standalone web browser? How?

Answer 1

For posterity: I know that this is not a correct fix, but you can really open Internet Explorer → Tools → Internet Options → Advanced, then look in the View section for the Disable script debugging options (Internet Explorer and Others). Deselect and you will solve the problem.

Another variant:

            webBrowser1.ScriptErrorsSuppressed = true;

Answer 2

IE has probably disabled error messages. A script error will probably be required.

Answer 3

If this is similar to using the webbrowser control in WinMo, make sure you call InitHTMLControl. Also, in the code I wrote (webbrowser in WinMo), I also explicitly send DTM_ENABLESCRIPTING to the control. YMMV, but I'm HTH.
