Andy, That was one of the things I was considering (and we're already using the mshtml assembly in conjunction with the web browser control). However, we were unable to get the mshtml DOM to work satisfactorially returning pages/frames... (in addition, I couldn't actually figure out how to get it not to display the IE window!!) Do you have any examples using solely the mshtml assembly to retreive a page and access its IHTMLDocument2 inteface?

It provides all of the DOM functionality of the WebBrowser control without any of the threading issues (at least, none that I'm aware of...) Look in the Platform SDK for the MSHTML reference. -Andy Hopper ----- Original Message ----- From: "James Crowley" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, November 27, 2002 3:48 PM Subject: [ADVANCED-DOTNET] STAThread, COM interop and ASP.net > Hi, > > My component uses the WebBrowser control (via COM interop) to grab > certain bits of data from a web page.
