[RESOLVED] [2008] Error with MSHTML

[The_Patzer]

Hello
I am trying to grab the current document from the web browser control and converts it to the strong typed mshtml.HTMLDocument class with this function:

Private Function GetCurrentWebDoc() As mshtml.HTMLDocument
        Try
            Return DirectCast(wb.Document, mshtml.HTMLDocument)
        Catch ex As Exception
            Return Nothing
        End Try
    End Function

But I get the following error:

Runtime errors might occur when converting 'System.Windows.Forms.HtmlDocument' to 'mshtml.HTMLDocument'.

coming from the " wb.document ". Did I forget to add a reference ? other than the mshtml that is ?

You need to get the DomDocument from the Document. Also, there's no HTMLDocument class in mshtml namespace. You probably are after
the IHTMLDocument (there's also IHTMLDocument2, IHTMLDocument3, IHTMLDocument4 and IHTMLDocument5 calsses that you can use)

Private Function GetCurrentWebDoc() As mshtml.IHTMLDocument
        Try
            Return DirectCast(wb.Document.DomDocument, mshtml.IHTMLDocument)
        Catch ex As Exception
            Return Nothing
        End Try
    End Function
