Calling JavaScript in a WebBrowser control from C# 29

Embedding a WebBrowser control in a C# application is very easy to do.  Simply drag and drop one in the Form editor.  So what can you do with it besides writing your own web browser? I wanted to load my own HTML page and call JavaScript functions within it and […]


Geotagger pre-Alpha
