Does webclient load/render javascript?

The WebClient doesn't render anything. It simply downloads files.

WebRequest doesn't either... hmmm. What would render javascript other than webbrowser?

[jmcilhinney]

Um, nothing renders JavaScript. Not even a WebBrowser. A WebBrowser might execute JavaScript, if that's what you mean. Remember that the WebBrowser is a control that wraps the IE engine, so you're back by a fully-fledged Web browser. The WebClient and the like are not about displaying anything to the user. They're just about getting data from a server.

I think what you need to do is explain, fully and clearly, exactly what it is you're trying to achieve. If we know the what then we have a far better chance of determining the how. If you try to type as few words as possible then it ends up wasting everyone's time.

I'm looking for something other than webbrowser that will execute javascript.

So, just for the heck of it, out of the blue, you thought you'd like something other than a WebBrowser that would execute JavaScript? I think not. I think maybe you have a specific reason for wanting this and a specific reason for not wanting to use a WebBrowser. Apparently you don't want to share that information though, so I'll leave you to it.

Your snide remarks to the members of this forum are absolutely unwarranted and ridiculous.
