but they offer solution for WPF. how to do the same in silverlight webbrowser control?

I dont think this will be possible, since
If you host content in an , all the regular security rules for iframes apply.
from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.controls.webbrowser(v=vs.95).aspx

VB.Net Webbrowser Inspect Element

I've been trying to figure out the ID of a button on a webpage in the VB webbrowser, but as VB uses an outdated web browser so the webpage loads differently to chrome so I can't figure out what the ID of the button is.
Is there any way I can get the ID of a focused element with some code?
Or alternatively, what web browser does VB use, so I can do figure it out manually.
Thanks!

How to check if WebBrowser has been loading for a while?

In VB.NET, I have a windows form where I have a WebBrowser component. I am using proxies to navigate to pages and some proxies are dead/too slow so I want the program to switch to another proxy.
My question is, how can I detect if the WebBrowser has been trying to load the page for a set period of time e.g. it has been 5 seconds since it has been trying to load the page fully?
I am using HTML elements to automate the web browser btw, not sure if this is relevant information though.

How to stop webbrowser control refreshing when server requests it

I have a webbrowser control that points at a webpage that holds some fields that change quickly. When these fields change the server seems to request that the webpage refreshes. This poses a problem if programatically interact with the webbroswer. Is there anyway to force the webbrowser to not refresh? No real code to show. since I'm hoping this is a one line property I can create/add.
Maybe you are looking for the WebBrowser.Stop() Method (MSDN)

How to know if wpf webbrowser has completed loading the page(not using Loadcomplete)

I am currently trying to use a web browser created dynamically in code to extract details in a web page, but I am unable to know when the load is complete. I know there is a .LoadCompleted event.
I tried it and it is not firing for some reason, so I dropped it.
But I am kind of looking for the type where we used to do for winforms webbrowser control. I'm checking if the document is ready like this:
Do Until WebBrowser1.ReadyState = WebBrowserReadyState.Complete
Application.DoEvents()
Loop
Is there anything similar? So that I can check and continue with the rest of the code.
Make sure your web browser control is visible. Some events may not fire if the web browser control is hidden.

rendering a webpage WITHOUT using the webbrowser control in .net

I've pulled down a webpage using a WebRequest object, and need to parse it, but first I need to render it since there is scripting on the page. I don't want to use the WebBrowser control because that forces me to jump out of my current function to the DocumentCompleted event, and "lose my place" (so to speak). Is there any way for me to pull down a URL using a WebRequest object and have the page rendered but still stay in my function? I considered the HTML Agility Pack but don't believe it's any good for my purposes because that won't render the scripting.
in the spirt of ignoring the question :-) you should be able to use webbrowser control without loosing you place
