Can I get the current HTML or Uri for the Metro WebView control?

Question

It doesn\'t appear that the Source property for the XAML WebView control is updating as the user is navigating in the WebView. Is it possible to get either the current Uri

Answer 1

The property you are looking for is called Source.

Unluckily the Document property of WinForms WebBrowser doesn't seem to exist anymore. You will have to re-download the page and process it using libraries like HtmlAgilityPack and Fizzler/FizzlerEx.

Answer 2

Turns out that the WebView doesn't provide a way to retrieve its HTML directly. But you can use WebView.InvokeScript like this:

webview.InvokeScript("eval", new string[] {"document.documentElement.outerHTML;"})

You can also obtain the Uri via the LoadCompleted event's NavigationEventArgs.Uri.

Answer 3

Did you look at the LoadCompleted event for WebView? That gives the URI that's just loaded.
