How to open XML file in a new Browser Window in VB.NET?

Hi,

You can use a Web Browser Control and then use WebBrowser1.Navigate method to open the XML file.

Just additional comment from my previous post, you can use Navigate method to use a physical path something like

WebBrowser1.Navigate("WebBrowser1.Navigate("C:\YourFile.xml"))

how do i add Web Browser control in my projetc. I have added Microsoft Web Browser COM component from tools ..but i can not see it in my tool box. where i  can find it?

What is the version of Visual Studio you are using VS2005 or VS2008?

VS2008

OK.  Under "All Windows Forms" tab, the last control in there should be "WebBrowser"

i cant find "All Windows Forms.

I ahve only, Standart,data,validation,navigation,login.webparts,AJAX extensions,reporting, html and general in my tool box.

where i can find "All Windows Forms"  tab ?

Is there any way i can create and use it  using  code behind..?

Can you please clarify?  Are you doing an ASP.NET (Web application) Project or VB.NET (Windows Application) project?

I have  managed to open XML file into new window using following code on button click.

 str = "<script type='text/javascript'>detailedresults=window.open('" & "../shared/" & strpath & "/test.xml" & "'" & "," & docname & " );</script>"
 ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(Me.GetType(), "AvisoScript", str)

but i have a another problem now..
if strpath is like "\cat1\cat2" then it removes  back slash ( \ ) from the path. so it tries to open cat1cat2/test.xml. so i receive the error File not found.
 it should be cat/cat2/test.xml.  

Do you ahve any idea why it remove \ from strpath strin varible which stores the part of the path .

i have .aspx page and .aspx.vb page for my code behind.

OK.  Use Server.MapPath to get the actual path for example.

Dim path As String = Server.MapPath("Images/blueWave.JPG")
Dim path As String = Server.MapPath("../Images/blueWave.JPG")
Dim path As String = Server.MapPath("~/Images/blueWave.JPG")

Here is more information about Server.MapPath
