Hello Experts
When I Navigate in the Webbrowser the Document property dose not represent the new page document; In another word it doesn't update.

Why it happens? what should I do?

Explanation: In the below code the document1 is equal to document2.

C#

this.WebBrowser.Navigate("facenama.com");

HtmlDocument document1 = this.WebBrowser.Document;

//Here I sign in so the webBrowser navigates to another page

HtmlDocument document2 = this.WebBrowser.Document;

Here is the solution who is interested

C#

HtmlElement headElement = webBrowser1.Document.GetElementsByTagName("head")[0];
HtmlElement scriptElement = webBrowser1.Document.CreateElement("script");
IHTMLScriptElement domScriptElement = (IHTMLScriptElement)scriptElement.DomElement;
domScriptElement.text = "function applyChanges(){/*DO WHATEVER YOU WANT HERE*/}";
headElement.AppendChild(scriptElement);

// Call the nextline whenever you want to execute your code
webBrowser1.Document.InvokeScript("applyChanges");

Please refer the below answers.

1. WebBrowser Document is always null[^].

Quote:
You should handle the DocumentCompleted[^] event and access the document in your event handler when that fires.

Navigation and document loading is handled asynchronously - therefore the control hasn't actually navigated or loaded anything when the Navigate method returns; hence why these are null.

2. .NET C#: WebBrowser control Navigate() does not load targeted URL[^]. Find example here.

I handled the DocumentCompleted but i put NO CODE in the handler method and it just updates.
