I am using web browser control in winforms. I am loading almost a file of size 5MB using webBrowser.Navigate(@"C:\Log.html"). It navigates fine. Now I have problem. Once I scroll down to the end of the page and minimise the form, my application will hang for some time and when I bring the form from minimise state to normal it again hangs for some time and it appears that the page is loading once again. The scroll bar position also changes and moves up from the end of the page. can you help me. Thanks in advance..

Solution 1

The hanging may be as a result of the webbrowser control trying to format the data that is loaded.

You may want to move the load operation etc. into a background worker process to prevent the primary gui from locking up.
