  1. POHow to display HTML in WebView in Windows 8 Metro app?
    text
    copied!<p>I'm building an app for Win8 (Metro) and for WP8. In this app I have a WebView in which I need to load some webpage. I'm getting HTML via post request in WP8 like this:</p> <pre><code>void LoadView(string username, string password) { string postDataStr = String.Format("username={0}&amp;password={1}", username, password); byte[] postDataByte = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(postDataStr); string additionalHeaders = "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" + Environment.NewLine; var urlLogin = new Uri(new Uri(APIConf.API_SERVICE_ENDPOINT), APIConf.LOGIN_URL); myWebView.Navigate(urlLogin, postDataByte, additionalHeaders); } </code></pre> <p>That works just fine, but I am having problems with Win8 Metro app. I have tried like this:</p> <pre><code> async Task&lt;string&gt; GetWebContent(string username, string password) { string serviceMethod = APIConf.LOGIN_URL; HttpClient client = new HttpClient(); client.BaseAddress = new Uri(APIConf.API_SERVICE_ENDPOINT); HttpContent content = new FormUrlEncodedContent(new[] { new KeyValuePair&lt;string, string&gt;("username", username), new KeyValuePair&lt;string, string&gt;("password", password) }); HttpResponseMessage response = await client.PostAsync(serviceMethod, content); Stream responseStream = await response.Content.ReadAsStreamAsync(); String sResponse = null; using (StreamReader responseReader = new StreamReader(responseStream)) { sResponse = responseReader.ReadToEnd(); } return sResponse; } async void LoadViewInWin8(string username, string password) { var htmlContent = await API.APIController.GetWebContent(username, password); if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(htmlContent)) { myWebView.NavigateToString(htmlContent); } } </code></pre> <p>When I execute this code, myWebView load and show HTML that I got, but it doesn't load any of the styles from web. Also, when I click on some of the links in shown html, I get page "Navigation to the webpage was canceled". I know that Win8 WebView has some problem with Navigate() methoid but is there a way that I can load this webPage in my WebView properly? I really would appreciate any help that I can get with this.</p>
