Adding Web page to Favorites using C# web control

[Mark Shehan]

Hi
I am writing an app that has a web browser in part of the Windows form in
C#. I can navigate etc happily around the web with it but want to allow the
users to add to their favorites. I know the favorites files have a .url
extension so how do i save the web page in the folder? do i use the
iwebbrowser2 (but cant find anything in there) or a simple file write? but
what do i write?

Any help will be greatly received
Thanks
Mark

You can use IWebBrowser2.ExecWB() and pass IDM_ADDFAVORITES as the cmdID

Hi Sijin
IDM_ADDFAVORITES is not one of the valid parameters for ExecWB. Any other
ideas? I think it would work if i was automating internet explorer, but i
am using the active x browser control which is more limited.

Thanks
Mark

Hi Mark,

It is a valid option which can be used with the ActiveX webbrowser control
