how to display a web page (in windows application) from an html string ?

You don't even have to save it to disk if you navigate to a blank document
first.
Use the WebBrowser control as Herfried suggested except browse to
about:blank first. Then use the document.Write moehod of the webbrowser
control to add your html string. Don't worry if intellisense doesn't display
any methods.

Me.myBrowser.Navigate2("about:blank")
Me.myBrowser.Document.Write("<HTML><BODY>HELLO WORLD</BODY></HTML>")

Hi.

I just found this post while having a similar problem. This solution
works for me also, *if I can also set the LocationURL property*. This is
because my string may have references to relative paths (for example
<form action="/someurl">). The hyperlink won't work unless the location
is the right one, or I make a method to replace all the relative paths
for absolute ones. Any suggestions?

TIA,

You can use the html BASE tag with absolute path, and all other links
can stay relative.
