How would I add HTML/CSS/Image files to my project? (for the WebBrowser control)
20 views
Hey guys,
I have a WebBrowser control and would like it to display HTML/CSS/Image files that I add to My.Resources, but can't figure out how to do that. Whenever I try to add an HTML file to My.Resources, it automatically converts it to a text file.
No problem there, as I can still get the HTML code out of that text file and display it using...
WebBrowser1.DocumentText = My.Resources.HTML_File
But that HTML file relies on a CSS file and several image files (all using relative paths).
But when I try to add the CSS file to My.Resources, it turns that into a txt file as well.
So is there any way to import HTML/CSS/Images files to My.Resources where they will all work together? (ie display properly in the WebBrowser control)
Or is there a better way to add them to the project other than using "My Resources"?
I guess if I had to, I could include the CSS code inside the HTML file, but then how would I reference the images from within the HTML code? ,

Also, I'd prefer to target the .NET 2.0 framework if possible, so do you know if it's possible to do this without using LINQ? (as far as I can tell, the LINQ references are the only thing that is keeping this from being compatible with 2.0).
Thanks!
