Regarding the WebBrowser Class/Control in C#
-
Hi guys! I'm new to network programming so i'm sorry if this question is a little noobish. I started using the WebBrowser Control in c# and so far it has done my purpose. But I want to know if there is a way to utilize this same control (so I won't change my code) without the visual display. Is it possible to "hide" the control but letting it stay active? Or is there a usable base class where the WebBrowser inherits its properties and methods? Thank you guys!

You could try setting the Visible property to false. You could instantiate it, but not add it to the Controls collection. If you wanted to, you could even use a HttpWebRequest to get a webpage's source
My first intuition was to set the visibility to false, but then it turns out that doing so disables the whole control and thus the rest of my code wont work. What do you mean by "You could instantiate it, but not add it to the Controls collection"? Btw, I tried to instantiate it instead of adding it the control from the designer by the code: webBrowser webBrowser1 = new webBrowser(); However, it didn't work in this manner. I also can't seem to find a property that would let it not display. I also have a code using HttpWebRequest and HttpWebResponse, but its a lot longer and I don't know how to send multiple posts and how to activate a button click...
