DocumentComplete Event: URL obtained through VARIANT* URL and get_LocationURL are different

Open original thread
Hi All,

I have been working on a client-server application. The client application uses a web browser control to interact with the server. Users can create new login using the login page provided by the server. On successful creation, we get a welcome message. On receiving this, the client application has to start some activity. I am relying on the BeforeNavigate to and DocumentComplete event handlers.

What I have observed is the following:
In BeforeNavigate2: When "welcome" page is loaded, I am not getting the URL of the "Welcome" page.
In DocumentComplete: In VARIANT* URL, I am getting the proper "Welcome" page URL, but if try to the URL through browserControl->get_LocationURL, I am not getting the URL.

What I get is the login page URL.

I though any page that gets loaded will generates the BeforeNaviagte2 event and the URL obtained through get_LocationURL is same as we get in VARIANT* URL. But my understanding seems to be wrong.

Can any one please help me here in understanding this and also what is that I am missing?

Thanks in advance.

When answering a question please:
  1. Read the question carefully.
  2. Understand that English isn't everyone's first language so be lenient of bad spelling and grammar.
  3. If a question is poorly phrased then either ask for clarification, ignore it, or edit the question and fix the problem. Insults are not welcome.
  4. Don't tell someone to read the manual. Chances are they have and don't get it. Provide an answer or move on to the next question.
