WebBrowser and XML

Lee · Jan 15, 2006

Hi,

I am using the WebBrowser control included with VS2005 to view XML files,
and they are being displayed correctly as far as I can tell.

The problem I am having is saving these XML files to disk.

If I try to save the contents of the WebBrowser.DocumentText to disk, the
resulting file contains HTML and script that I don't want. Is there any way
I can save the actual XML document to disk from the WebBrowser control?

Many thanks.

Lee.

Try using "GetUrlCacheEntryInfo" and opening the underlying cached file.
For an example of a managed wrapper, see my post:

Thank you for your answer!

I have only just tried the GetUrlCachEntryInfo method as per your website
and it works perfectly.

Thanks again!
