I am attempting to create a hyperlink from an existing url that I would like to 'share' with others. What I mean to say is that I am creating a 'share page' option for my phone app and I pass the current url via querystring to my SharePage.xaml, whereby the user may select an option to share the current url that the webbrowser control is on. For instance, in my SharePage.xaml.cs my code is as follows:
SharePage.xaml.cs
string urlToShare;
public SharePage()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
protected override void OnNavigatedTo(NavigationEventArgs e)
{
//base.OnNavigatedTo(e);
NavigationContext.QueryString.TryGetValue("curUrl", out urlToShare);
}
private void SocialNetworks_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
ShareLinkTask shareLinkTask = new ShareLinkTask();
Uri shareUrl = new Uri(urlToShare);
shareLinkTask.Title = "Shared Link!";
shareLinkTask.LinkUri = shareUrl;
shareLinkTask.Message = "Check out this link!";
shareLinkTask.Show();
}
As of now this works although the LinkUri part of the message shows up as plain text instead of a hyperlink (which is what I would like to give as an option). The purpose would be to simply facilitate more efficient, quicker navigation to a url so that the user does not have to copy and paste the url into a web browser manually (something I've found annoying on the Windows Phone). Is there any way to do this in code behind in my SocialNetworks_Click event? Any code help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, I have never messed with the Hyperlink option in C# as I am new to the language (and cannot find anything online about doing this in code behind if thats possible). Thanks in advance!
I think you're confused about what the ShareLinkTask is supposed to do.
This isn't meant to be displayed as a link in your app, or even in the task UI.
On the "Post a link" page this will be just text (and not tappable).
When the link appears in Twitter or Facebook or LinkedIn or whatever else you're sharing to then it will be a valid link that can be tapped/clicked.

I am facing this issue, working on Active reports 9. Every thing is fine as per our application we generate the report and in UI user will be viewing in a c# Web browser control.
Now the issue am facing is when client(user) clicks on the link present in pdf i.e. on Web Browser control. With in the same window the link is opening. They want the link to open in new window.
The problem q=am facing is if its Html control i would have used target="_blank" property but not , and its a windows application i cant even use Java script. I just gone through the properties of Picture control used in Report, theres only Hyperlink property which states in pdf it converts it to href or a tag.
Need some assistance as soon as possible is that possible to do in web browser control or should change any properties for picture control in Code behind.
Hope this help you. It worked for me.
Add the Navigating event on your webBrowser control. This will open the link in a new Browser window. In my case Google Chrome.
private void webBrowser1_Navigating(object sender, WebBrowserNavigatingEventArgs e)
{
try
{
if (!(e.Url.ToString().ToLower().Contains("file") || e.Url.ToString().ToLower().Contains("pdf")))
{
e.Cancel = true;
//Open Link
Process.Start(e.Url.ToString());
}
}
catch (Exception err)
{
//Handle Exception
}
}
So, I've come across an issue where my favorite radio station plays a song I don't know while I'm driving. They don't have one of those pages that shows a list of songs that they've played; however, they do have a "Now Playing" section on their site that shows what's currently playing and by who. So, I am trying to write a small program that will poll the site ever 2 minutes to retrieve the name of the song and the artist. Using Chrome dev tools, I can see the song title and artist in the source. But when I view the page source, it doesn't show up. They are using a javascript to run display that info. I've tried the following:
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
webBrowser1.Navigate(#"http://www.thebuzz.com/main.html");
webBrowser1.DocumentCompleted += new WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventHandler(webBrowser1_DocumentCompleted);
}
private void webBrowser1_DocumentCompleted(object sender,
WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventArgs e)
{
do
{
// Do nothing while we wait for the page to load
}
while (webBrowser1.ReadyState == WebBrowserReadyState.Loading);
var test = webBrowser1.DocumentText;
textBox1.Text = test.ToString();
}
Essentially, I'm loading it into a WebBrowser and trying to get the source this way. But I'm still not getting the part after the javascript is run. Is there a way to actually retrieve the rendered HTML after the fact?
EDIT
Also, is there a way in the WebBrowser to allow scripts to run? I get popups asking me if I want to allow them to run. I don't want to suppress them, I need them to run.
As Jay Tomten said in the comments, you're trying to fix the result of your problem, not the cause. The cause of the problem is that they're using Javascript to update that part of the page. Instead of working around that by letting the Javascript do its update and then reading what it wrote, ask yourself where the Javascript is getting the info from and whether you can go to the same place. Open up something that lets you see web traffic - Fiddler, or Chrome's dev console, for example. Watch for POST calls. One of them will likely be an AJAX request in which the Javascript on the page is getting the current song. Note the URL, inspect the call to see what parameters it sends and what data it gets back. You can use Postman or something like it to assemble a POST request and work out how the Javascript on that site is getting its data, and then write a little code to make your own call to that URL and parse what comes back.
I'm working on an ASP.NET based TicTacToe game. The problem I have with it is that:
The game is played between two users. When the first one types 'x' in the TextBox I want the 'x' to be shown on the second player's computer without reloading the page.
I don't know if some code will help but here is the way I did it without reloading(the user must reload the page manually... dumb):
protected void TopLeft_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Application.Lock();
GameBoard gameBoard = new GameBoard();
gameBoard.board[0, 0] = char.Parse(this.TopLeft.Text);
Application["TopLeft"] = gameBoard.board[0, 0];
Application.UnLock();
}
And then, on page pre render:
protected override void OnPreRender(EventArgs e)
{
base.OnPreRender(e);
Application.Lock();
if(Application["TopLeft"] != "0")
{
this.TopLeft.Text = Application["TopLeft"].ToString();
}
...
And so on...
I'd be very thankfull to anyone who can help!
You will need to use AJAX to do this. I recommend looking at some of the AJAX capabilities that jQuery offers but you can also look at the AJAX Toolkit from Microsoft.
Here is documentation for AJAX in jQuery:
http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/
I feel this is much "lighter" than what Microsoft offers out of the box. You can find out more about the Microsoft AJAX toolkit here:
http://www.asp.net/ajax/ajaxcontroltoolkit/samples/
You are asking about Partial Page Update.
First, you need to place the client TextBox or what ever other controls that you need to reload inside an UpdatePanel.
Then, you need to call the UpdatePanel.Update to update those controls whenever you need.
Check out AJAX. This will require client scripting to submit and detect updates without submitting or updating the entire page.
Note, however, that this is a fairly advanced topic and will not simply be a little snippet of code you can add. I would recommend a good AJAX/JavaScript/jQuery book.
First of all, I am entirely new to web development, so I apologize in advance if this question is overly simple (although I did do the prerequisite googling before I posted).
The problem I am having is that I would like to open a new tab via a link button or link on my page. I need to append a query string variable from the page onto the end of the reference, because it is passing a parameter to a report.
I've successfully passed the parameter and opened the report in the same tab using this code:
protected void lbSummary_OnClick(object sender, CommandEventArgs e)
{
Response.Redirect("http://myreportserverURL&rs:Command=Render&Year="+YearID);
}
And I've successfully opened the report in a new tab without passing the parameter with this code:
Report Name
I would prefer to do both. One important note is that opening a new window, instead of a new tab, is not what I need. I do understand that this is somewhat dependant on browser use, but for this project I can assume that users will be on IE8.
Is this possible? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
You can use asp.net HyperLink control where you can set it's NavigateUrl in code-behind to whatever link you want including your querystring in there.
You can set it's Target Property as per you need.
Set target="_tab" this will open link in new tab
There are some things that I didn't find how to do using geckofx:
Get the URL of a clicked link.
Display print preview window.
Does this functionality exist in geckofx? If not, what's the best way
to achieve it in a C# project that uses GeckoWebBrowser to display html pages?
Thanks
To get url of clicked link you can use:
void domClicked(object sender, GeckoDomMouseEventArgs e)
{
if(geckoWebBrowser1.StatusText.StartsWith("http"))
{
MessageBox.Show(geckoWebBrowser1.StatusText);//forward status text string somewhere
}
}
To show print dialog box you can use:
geckoWebBrowser1.Navigate("javascript:print()");
OnNaviagted event should give you the link, and look for the print interfaces nsIPrintingPromptService::ShowPrintDialog in Geckofx.
geckoWebBrowser.url
That will give you the url at any point I believe where geckoWebBrowser is the name of the control, however as pointed out you'll be able to get it from the document completed and navigated events using e.url .
For printing, see this forum thread. Make sure to read it all before starting. Essentially you'll have to patch and recompile GeckoFX.
