Open exrternal file in a WebBrowser control

**rebeccar** · 05-25-2010

Hi I am trying to open an external file within a WebBrowser control.

When I output the code to a file it seems to work in internet explorer.

Please can you give me some help???

Code is as follows:-

Code:

public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            MemoryStream HTMLMemory = new MemoryStream();
            StreamWriter HTMLWriter = new StreamWriter(HTMLMemory);
           
            HTMLWriter.Write("<html><body><input type=button onClick=\" window.location='file:///C:/RDR_Expert_Advisory/Anomaly_ID_surfaces_2010_v.avi'\" value=\"Open File\">");
          
            HTMLWriter.Flush();
            HTMLMemory.Position = 0;
            webBrowser1.DocumentStream = HTMLMemory;

            // Print code to a txt file
            StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter("C:\\RDR_Expert_Advisory\\Test.htm");
            StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(HTMLMemory);
            sw.WriteLine(sr.ReadToEnd());
            sw.Close();
            HTMLMemory.Position = 0;
        }

So what is the problem with the code?

The problem I get is a script error:

"An error has occurred in the script on this page."

Line 1
Char 1
Error Permission denied
Code 0
URL about:blank
