And for an easy way to inject that magic line of javascript, read how to inject javascript into webbrowser control.
Or just use this complete code:
private void InjectAlertBlocker() {
HtmlElement head = webBrowser1.Document.GetElementsByTagName("head")[0];
HtmlElement scriptEl = webBrowser1.Document.CreateElement("script");
string alertBlocker = "window.alert = function () { }";
scriptEl.SetAttribute("text", alertBlocker);
head.AppendChild(scriptEl);
}
Contrary to the answers here, you DON'T need to worry about encoding if the bytes don't need to be interpreted!
Like you mentioned, your goal is, simply, to "get what bytes the string has been stored in".
(And, of course, to be able to re-construct the string from the bytes.)
For those goals, I honestly do not understand why people keep telling you that you need the encodings. You certainly do NOT need to worry about encodings for this.
Just do this instead:
static byte[] GetBytes(string str)
{
byte[] bytes = new byte[str.Length * sizeof(char)];
System.Buffer.BlockCopy(str.ToCharArray(), 0, bytes, 0, bytes.Length);
return bytes;
}
// Do NOT use on arbitrary bytes; only use on GetBytes's output on the SAME system
static string GetString(byte[] bytes)
{
char[] chars = new char[bytes.Length / sizeof(char)];
System.Buffer.BlockCopy(bytes, 0, chars, 0, bytes.Length);
return new string(chars);
}
As long as your program (or other programs) don't try to interpret the bytes somehow, which you obviously didn't mention you intend to do, then there is nothing wrong with this approach! Worrying about encodings just makes your life more complicated for no real reason.
Additional benefit to this approach: It doesn't matter if the string contains invalid characters, because you can still get the data and reconstruct the original string anyway!
It will be encoded and decoded just the same, because you are just looking at the bytes.
If you used a specific encoding, though, it would've given you trouble with encoding/decoding invalid characters.

A good popup tester is http://www.popuptest.com.
The
WebBrowser
NewWindow event is in fact hooked on the underlyingNewWindow2
event. NewWindow works fine, but it does not give you the url where the new window is heading.Since IE6, there is a NewWindow3 available, but this one is not exposed by the WebBrowser. However, here is a sample code that shows how to use it. In the
NewWindow3
event handler, you will see all popups and the corresponding url.
