Get ReadyState from WebBrowser control without DoEvents

Question

This has been awnsered many times here and at other sites and its working, but I would like ideas to other ways to:

get the ReadyState = Complete after using a navig

Answer 1

The solution is simple:

    // MAKE SURE ReadyState = Complete
            while (WebBrowser1.ReadyState.ToString() != "Complete") {
                Application.DoEvents();         
            }

// Move on to your sub-sequence code...

Dirty and quick.. I am a VBA guys, this logic has been working forever, just took me days and found none for C# but I just figured this out myself.

Following is my complete function, the objective is to obtain a segment of info from a webpage:

private int maxReloadAttempt = 3;
    private int currentAttempt = 1;

    private string GetCarrier(string webAddress)
    {
        WebBrowser WebBrowser_4MobileCarrier = new WebBrowser();
        string innerHtml;
        string strStartSearchFor = "subtitle block pull-left\">";
        string strEndSearchFor = "<";

        try
        {
            WebBrowser_4MobileCarrier.ScriptErrorsSuppressed = true;
            WebBrowser_4MobileCarrier.Navigate(webAddress); 

            // MAKE SURE ReadyState = Complete
            while (WebBrowser_4MobileCarrier.ReadyState.ToString() != "Complete") {
                Application.DoEvents();         
            }

            // LOAD HTML
            innerHtml = WebBrowser_4MobileCarrier.Document.Body.InnerHtml;  

            // ATTEMPT (x3) TO EXTRACT CARRIER STRING
            while (currentAttempt <=  maxReloadAttempt) {
                if (innerHtml.IndexOf(strStartSearchFor) >= 0)
                {
                    currentAttempt = 1; // Reset attempt counter
                    return Sub_String(innerHtml, strStartSearchFor, strEndSearchFor, "0"); // Method: "Sub_String" is my custom function
                }
                else
                {
                    currentAttempt += 1;    // Increment attempt counter
                    GetCarrier(webAddress); // Recursive method call
                } // End if
            } // End while
        }   // End Try

        catch //(Exception ex)
        {
        }
        return "Unavailable";
    }
