Thanks for your reply....i dont want to create a favicon. I have done a webbrowser project in c#.net windows application. So i must be having browser control in my webbrowser project. If i type google.com i want to display the favicon image next to the url....what ever website if i browse respective favicon of that perticular website to get displayed in next to the url. Like how you can view in mozilla or any other browsers. you can view. Hope you can understood.

Won't this do what you want to do? http://www.htmlbasix.com/favicon.shtml[^] In general I wish people would try looking for themselves before demanding a solution.

You might try reading the question again. He is not asking how to create a favicon. He is asking how to display the favicon in his browser control.

T M Gray

Whenever you make a request with your control do another request for favicon.ico. If that request returns a 404 then obviously there is no icon, if it returns the image, you should probably be able to use a System.Drawing.Icon object to hold it.

Nonsense. I answered your question 10 hours after it was posted. /ravi

Not really. A favicon can also be specified in a meta tag. If the OP had bothered to read my original response he would've known this. /ravi

Yes, but you used words he didn't understand. Like "meta" and "tag". Oh, and you completely forgot to code it for him! :laugh:

Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together.

RaviBee

Heh. :) Seriously though, if he said he didn't understand what a meta tag was I would've steered him along the right path. Imho, there are too many "developers" @ CP's forums looking for a free handout. We'd only be doing them a disservice by writing their urgent codez. /ravi

Hey guys.... So atlast what is the solution for this... :doh:

I'll try to explain it in simpler terms: A site's icon is either the file favicon.ico located at the site's root, or (if the file doesn't exist), the icon file referenced in a meta tag in the page's HTML. So try to retrieve the favicon.ico file; if your attempt fails with a 404 (file not found status), read the HTML of the page in question and look for the meta tag that specifies the alternate location of the icon file. If none of this makes any sense, you may have taken on a task that's beyond your (current) ability. I'm not trying to be snide - just honest. If you have specific questions on how to do this, feel free to ask. We'll try and help you as much as we can. But if you're looking for someone to give you a bunch of code that you can just stick into your app, you're wasting your time. Thanks, /ravi
