POC# WebBrowser HTML with references to scripts and images

copied!<p>I'm writing a C# app using the WebBrowser control, and I want all content I display to come from embedded resources - not static local files, and not remote files.</p> <p>Setting the initial text of the control to an embedded HTML file works great with this code inspired by <a href="http://blog.topholt.com/2008/03/18/c-trick-load-embedded-resources-in-a-class-library/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this post</a>:</p> <pre><code>browser.DocumentText=loadResourceText("myapp.index.html"); private string loadResourceText(string name) { Assembly assembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly(); Stream stream = assembly.GetManifestResourceStream(name); StreamReader streamReader = new StreamReader(stream); String myText = streamReader.ReadToEnd(); return myText; } </code></pre> <p>As good as that is, files referred to in the HTML - javascript, images like <code><img src="whatever.png"/></code> etc, don't work. I found similar questions <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/72103/how-do-i-reference-a-local-resource-in-generated-html-in-winforms-webbrowser-co#273840">here</a> and <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/153748/webbrowser-control-from-net-how-to-inject-javascript">here</a>, but neither is asking <em>exactly</em> what I mean, namely referring to <em>embedded</em> resources in the exe, not files. </p> <p>I tried <code>res://...</code> and using a <code><base href='..."</code> but neither seemed to work (though I may have not got it right).</p> <p>Perhaps (following my own suggestion on <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/72103/how-do-i-reference-a-local-resource-in-generated-html-in-winforms-webbrowser-co#273840">this question</a>), using a little embedded C# webserver is the only way... but I would have thought there is some trick to get this going?</p> <p>Thanks!</p>
