You could use something like this. I should allow all threads to run apox 30 seconds then abort them if they have not completed. class Program { private static AutoResetEvent e = new AutoResetEvent(false); //No delay public static void DoWork1() { Console.WriteLine("DoWork1 Completed"); e.Set(); } //Long but completes public static void DoWork2() { Thread.Sleep(new TimeSpan(0, 0, 25)); Console.WriteLine("DoWork2 Completed"); e.Set(); } //runs too long public static void DoWork3() { Thread.Sleep(new TimeSpan(0, 0, 60)); Console.WriteLine("DoWork3 Completed"); e.Set(); } static void Main(string[] args) { //Create array of worker threads Thread[] workers = new Thread[3]; (workers[0] = new Thread(new ThreadStart(DoWork1))).Start(); (workers[1] = new Thread(new ThreadStart(DoWork2))).Start(); (workers[2] = new Thread(new ThreadStart(DoWork3))).Start(); DateTime abortTime = DateTime.Now.AddSeconds(30); //Wait until timout expires or all all thread are //completed. while (DateTime.Now < abortTime) { //Waits for 10 seconds on until any thread completes e.WaitOne(new TimeSpan(0, 0, 10)); int running = 0; foreach (Thread t in workers) { if (t.ThreadState != System.Threading.ThreadState.Stopped) { running++; } } if (running == 0) { break; } else { Console.WriteLine("Running threads {0}", running); } } //Kill off the threads that have not stopped foreach (Thread t in workers) { try { t.Abort(); } catch { Console.WriteLine("Aborted"); } } } }

Because of the multi-threaded nature of IE, the WebBrowser.Stop() method doesn't work well. Multiple framed pages only worsen the situation. In fact, the navigation toolbar does not work as soon as you have more than one frame in the web page. I believe that you can't stop the loading of a page once it's started. It's really up to you to filter out the html code by having it loaded separately and ask IE to process it.

Hi Leppie, I'm amazed :omg: ! Thank you very much for this. Coding at the IL level looks very hardcore for me ;). Good for you. .NET has no secret for you :-D. Cheers, R. LOPES Just programmer.

Hello, Thanks for answering but look at that: URLDownloadToFile(IntPtr.Zero,"http://www.kimo.com.tw",@"c:\test1.htm",0,IntPtr.Zero); <-- create the file URLDownloadToFile(IntPtr.Zero,"http://www.yahoo.com",@"c:\test2.htm",0,IntPtr.Zero); <-- create the file URLDownloadToFile(IntPtr.Zero,"http://www.boursorama.com",@"c:\test3.htm",0,IntPtr.Zero); <-- doesn't create the file Any idea ? Try by yourself. R. LOPES Just programmer.

Hello Stephane, Thank you very much indeed. I'm going to look into these objects. If you have any other idea or anybody else, feel free to post here. Thanks, R. LOPES Just programmer.

Hello Stephane, Thank you for your help. Do you have any idea on how to test that with VS .NET easely (if the instances are hosted by the same control) ? Thanks, R. LOPES Just programmer.

GriffonRL wrote: If I am right WalkAll use MSHTML only not the WebBrowser control Yes, I would use monikers to get the content pointed by the URL, retrieve the data then throw it at an actual web browser instance (where I would simply do a IPersistFile->Load(...) or something like that). The fact that you see the data makes you have the opportunity to strip off all messing tags, if required. (you need an html parser). GriffonRL wrote: Any other idea ? Become a hacker :wtf:. You have to find the way to make the Internet Explorer temporarily switch to low-security mode, where ActiveX and stuff are all ok.

Thanks ! I will take a look. Regards, R. LOPES Just programmer.

Hello, Repost because the first URL was translated by the message board. I'm extensively using the Webbrowser control and everything is almost fine... Actually I found a strange problem. I crawl to a page containing the following code: <A href=\"/event.ng/Type=click&amp;FlightID=6121&amp;AdID=17734&amp;TargetID=1165&amp;Segments=108,143,292,365,382,1035,1227&amp;Targets=273,1165&amp;Values=31,43,51,60,72,81,91,100,110,150,206,213,237,474,601,625,763,934,938,940,1007,1009,1046,1253,1282,1448,1907,1963,2018&amp;RawValues=&amp;Redirect=http:%2F%2Fwww.fnac.com%2FShelf%2Farticle.asp%3FPRID%3D1391122%26Origin%3D2003.2.10.12.24.24.0%26OriginClick%3Dyes\" target=_blank><IMG height=63 alt=\"\" src=\"http://pub.club-internet.fr/Netgravity/Fnac/100x63_massive_070203.gif\" width=100 border=0></A> When using the IHTMLAnchorElement and asking for the 'href' property, I get the following result: http://pubs.mgn.net/event.ng/Type=click&FlightID=6121&AdID=17734&TargetID=1165&Segments=108,143,292,365,382,1035,1227&Targets=273,1165&Values=31,43,51,60,72,81,91,100,110,150,206,213,237,474,601,625,763,934,938,940,1007,1009,1046,1253,1282,1448,1907,1963,2018&RawValues=&Redirect=http://www.fnac.com/Shelf/article.asp?PRID=1391122&Origin=2003.2.10.12.24.24.0&OriginClick=yes But If I issue an HTTP GET request, I get a 404 error (after redirection, the web server is a Netscape Entreprise Server). I know that if I use this URL instead (like IE does !), I will work: http://pubs.mgn.net/event.ng/Type=click&FlightID=6121&AdID=17734&TargetID=1165&Segments=108,143,292,365,382,1035,1227&Targets=273,1165&Values=31,43,51,60,72,81,91,100,110,150,206,213,237,474,601,625,763,934,938,940,1007,1009,1046,1253,1282,1448,1907,1963,2018&RawValues=&Redirect=http:%2F%2Fwww.fnac.com%2FShelf%2Farticle.asp%3FPRID%3D1391122%26Origin%3D2003.2.10.12.24.24.0%26OriginClick%3Dyes The difference is that the second URL has HTML decoded all & but kept all URL encoded characters. Using the debugger I found that because the WebBrowser control is misparsing the anchor, I also get wrong values for the 'search' property (of IHTMLAnchorElement) and so on. Is it a bug ? What can I do to deal with this problem and get a perfectly parsed URL ? Regards, R. LOPES Just programmer.

I suggest you use something like the Magic Library's DockingManager as the hosting windows can easily move outside the form area or hidden.

Hello, I think I am missing something :(. I used to use the webbrowser control (shdocvw) for simpler programs because I understood mshtml was only the HTML parser/Javascript interpreter/DOM builder and I wanted to keep the UI. I know how to walk the DOM using the mshtml interfaces. But I don't know what kind of object I have to create from shdocvw to provide me with url navigation without the UI mess. I tried several things like creating WebBrowser,IWebBrowserApp,IWebBrowser2 interfaces but I get errors when calling the Navigate2 method (some COM exception) ! Forgive my ignorance but I am currently stuck and lost with all the interfaces/classes from shdocvw :wtf:. Any help, advice or link to relevant articles are welcome. Also for examples using the IConnectionPointContainer you are talking about. Thanks, R. LOPES Just programmer.

Unfortunately, there is no .NET SP3 coming this fall. .NET 1.1 is in beta, and this issue is not among the things that have been fixed (see gotdotnet.com for further details). She's so dirty, she threw a boomerang and it wouldn't even come back.
