VB 2010 WebBrowser - page wont load completely

[jayb]

Hello all;

I'm using a Webbrowser control to login to Google Webmaster Tools. For some reason the main page wont load completely. Some parts of the page get loaded but not all as you would see in the image below.

<<< sorry having trouble inserting the image>>>

Any idea why this happens? Any solutions? Your suggestions are greatly appreciated.

(I use IE Version 11)

Thank you

JB

So all you are doing is navigating your WebBrowser control to the Google webmaster tool page, nothing else, and it will not load all of the components? Seems like something is breaking down. Try re-inserting the image. Here is a step by step guide on how to do it:

Step 1. Click on the 'Insert Image' button in either the quick reply or the advanced reply


Step 2. Click on the 'Basic Uploader' button in the 'Insert Image' dialog in the 'From Computer' tab. You may have to manually select 'From Computer' if 'From URL' is selected by default


Step 3. Click on the 'Browse' button, navigate to your screen shot, and click on 'Upload Image'


This should give you something that looks like this:
[ATTACH]012345[/ATTACH]
Do not delete that, that is what displays the image whenever you post the reply.

Thank you 'dday9' for the instructions.

Yes, and this is what the page look like... as you can see it's trying to load, but not.



I left the page for an hour to load but it still looked like this at the end... I don't know what's wrong.

Can some one please help? Thanks!

You may have to try a different web browser control. There are a couple Gecko based ones.

Most likely involves a rewrite to access the web page contents since the control will change. It looks like the webpage involves some kind of AJAX or dynamic loading which can be hard to work with, if it works at all in the Web Browser Control. Are you using the latest version of IE? You can try installing or upgrading your version as the control uses the version installed on the local system. You might have better luck with the more recent versions.

You can take a look at something like the following:

do some searches for "Web Browser Control .NET"

What is your Windows and VS version? I just created a browser app in VS2008 and I had no problem getting to that site under both Vista/32 and Win8.1/64.

Maybe you have a firewall or other security software running that is blocking access.

Edit:

When you launch Internet explorer, go to the Help->about menu. What version does that so installed on your computer?

In his first post, he stated IE 11.

Yes I have the latest IE version 11. I have the same issue with another site (SBI Sitebuilder). When I go to these sites using the IE they all works fine. So it must be something to do with webbrowser control.

I will take a look. Thanks!

I have Windows 7. I designed the app in VB Express 2010. I don't have a problem visiting these site with IE.

Thanks!
